lyrics

Did you offer up your heart
Just to have it all fall apart?
And I bet you didn't see it coming
When she said that she was sorry
And I bet you tried to copy her smile
When she told you it would take a while
To shift through all this bullshit
And figure out which parts of life were worth it

Smile wide and breathe deep
Little soldiers in retreat
Stopping by the riverside
Exhale sweet, mind's defeat
But this pain you claim is out of order
You're just too adorably sober
But when you tilt your bottle to greet a foggy mirror
I hope your smile stretches and becomes clearer

Rotten fruit, clenched fist
Hollowing emptiness

Squeeze out the sides and down your mouth
It always was warmer south
Wander weary, our burden's treasure
Worship the womb bearing our pleasure

Rotten fruit, clenched fist
I hope to tame the deep abyss
Rotten fruit, my clenching fist
I am done with all this shit

Shredded loins of lovers lost
We'll burn the pyre in the mall's parking lot

And I deserve this darkness in which I am living
Because subtle truths, they always seemed most fitting
Never overwhelm the fate, I may say whispering
But if you're smart you probably wouldn't listen to me
