lyrics

Young things
That were almost men
But then they ran away
So I learned to detach at the drop of a pin
But now I see
I can’t stick to anything
Remember when-
When a moment meant something?
That moment passed
And all you’re left with is slow burning
and hateful, and tired
You can try
But it’s like tar
Its not going
You can take you can take this as
Your cue to go
Trust me it won’t be the last
I’m better on my own
Maybe then I can try to see
Some beauty in me
Cause right now I’m constantly
Fighting to just feel meaning
Transience
Don’t worry I accept
That you’re just stopping by
One in a long line
Of men who come and go
When they see fit
I’m just a home, for a little bit
It’s funny the way that the past can
Shape a mindset
Etch it into any cavity and make
you have to break
Shatter the whole thing
Just to see around it
You can take you can take this as
Your cue to go
Trust me it won’t be the last
I’m better on my own
Maybe then I can try to see
Some beauty in me
Cause right now I’m constantly
Fighting to just feel meaning
