lyrics

Eyes twitch
Throat dry
The more you stare the more aware of this
Lie
You say that we're wasting our time but it's the only thing we've got
And what devours these frozen hours says we're right

Didn’t want to be right.

But you say that you remember
All these things that
Should've kept us weathered
But all you've got are fuzzy photographs
And a promise of relief that
Will never come to visit
And why would it
The evidence just isn't
Proof enough that when we weigh that shit
You can tell me that it's worth it.

Time it out
It's been over ten years now
And instead of re-livin' this
We smile
Cuz it's easier to just
evade
And pretend it's all ok
The odds of us all right here
Were slim
and it's easier to just

Stop
Cuz I don't even know you
This person you're supposed to be
Is quite dead
And wait
I shouldn't even know this
You're fuckin' up the process
For me instead

But you tell me you remember
All these things that
You were never there for
so we pull out fuzzy photographs
And we're starting to believe that
When you tell me you remember
All these things that
You couldn't have been there for
And finally we weigh that shit
And we're starting to believe it
