lyrics

i substituted every reminder of you that i pinned to my walls
with a remodel that was an eggshell white
cause you said that moons look like bone
shards of my memory paint you in gold

but i knew the coating would chip off your skin
from the dents in your shell

i was pummeled deeper into the ridges until i was black like tar
but you had managed to retain color
a bonded dichotomy

that puts unequal halves into one whole, i
never thought we’d spinning out of control, i
figured that things would settle out on their own but
you didn’t need any more than time alone
there's a million things that we could have done just to pay our dues
but was it worth it to make an effort to see it through?

i revel in a dream where i’m translucent
always passing through the stages of the night before
follow every thought into the depths of my regret
between the lines of what’s remembered and what i repress
but i’m sorry that i never had a reason
i was only justifying getting even

heavy
scraping us off
we were heavy
