lyrics

I couldn’t give much of a shit as I leaned and I spit off the railing
I’m pretty damn sure I can’t prepare anymore for failing
Across the tops of all the churches, the overwhelming urges
I feel I’m ready for the fall
In fact I’m pretty damn sure I couldn’t prepare anymore at all
Sometimes I feel like I’m not here, it’s getting weirder every year, sincerely
And all the slow and golden days, well I don’t think that I can say I’ll miss them dearly
All the time I thought I needed relentlessly receded, rotten from the inside
I’m pretty damn sure I couldn’t prepare anymore if I tried
From long before, I know there’s a door, it’s closing at the end
And I believe it’s not opening again
Try to keep my shoulders square, against the chill that’s in the air, I’m pacing
I stopped looking for a spark out in the cold and all that dark I’ll be facing
And I’m not here to stop the bleeding, or history repeating
But Jesus man, it’s getting tough
And I’m starting to get scared, maybe I can’t prepare enough
