Lyrics
[Verse 1] The sour substances that make up my hind brain Have slowly become stagnant and I have surely become insane And the anger I feel in my veins Has stopped pouring out of the heart in my face And remains in my stained ribcage [Verse 2] Broken by 14 with no chance to absolution Cause they refused to open their minds' eye, and see we too were human We were searching for joy with our pathetic conclusions We started savouring apathy and all of our bruises [Chorus] And the songs we sung when our minds were done And our lungs bled, our tongues said "We're done with the humdrum" We used to be so pure, so fragile and raw But now we set campfires in carparks and cut corners on short walks [Verse 3] Well out of the flames we reclaimed our decay And the world became a stage, complete chaotic, how we played And cryptic visions of us disposing of ourselves, became Sordid depictions of disposable wealth [Chorus] And the songs we sung when our minds were done And our lungs bled, our tongues said "We're done with the humdrum" We used to be so pure, so fragile and raw But now we set campfires in carparks and cut corners on short walks [Bridge] When she laid me down whilst I was in a drunken stupor And she took my hand and she forced me to use her For things I desired not for My friend was asleep on the floor I would ask myself constantly "Am I remembering that right?" A paralytic memory hazy days of a night Was I truly destroyed by an imperfect person Was I just co-opting the curses of coercion Well after that event, my hair grew out, matted and frayed Like a rope you'd have to cut but to make usable again But to assess my temperament around the contours of my skull I shaved off all my hair and saw I still could be well [Chorus] And the songs we sung when our minds were done And our lungs bled, our tongues said "We're done with the humdrum" We used to be so pure, so fragile and raw But now we set campfires in carparks and cut corners on short walks The light in my eyes Reignited with a vengeance When I saw the sunrise Around the campfire with my best friends And the songs we sung when our minds were done And our lungs bled, our tongues said "We're done with the humdrum" We used to be so pure, so fragile and raw But now we set campfires in carparks and cut corners on short walks
