作曲:

Shut out pimpled and angry

I quietly tied all my guts into knots

Gave up on trying to make them

I figured it'd take them too long to look up and besides

It was undeniably clear to me i don't know why

When every other part of life seemed locked behind shutters

I knew what worthless dregs we've always been

Lucked out and found my favorite records

Lying in wait at the birmingham mall

The songs that i heard

The occasional book

Were the only fun i ever took

And i got on with making myself

The trick is just making yourself

But when they're parking their cars on your chest

You've still got a view of the summer sky

To make it hurt twice when your restless body

Caves to its whims

And suddenly struggles to take flight

Three thousand miles north east

I left all my friends at the morning bus stop shaking their heads

"what kind of life you dream of you're allergic to love"

Yes i know but i must say in my own defense

It's been undeniably dear to me i don't know why

When every other part of life seemed locked behind shutters

I knew the worthless dregs we are

The selfless loving saints we are

The melting sliding dice we've always been
