lyrics

All things aside, I feel fine
I guess at least some part of the time
Stoned and alone, my eyes reflect on my phone
Like a box wine supernova in the sky

Of all the lives I could've lived,
I somehow ended up stuck with this
It's a hall of mirrors and I've lost my way,
So many doors and none are unlocked

"Sorrow aside, I'm alright,"
I repeat it to myself day and night
But when all that you see is just the shit you can't be,
I guess you start to feel like closing your eyes

And imagine a welcoming void,
The inevitable is hardly a choice
With a humbling look in the rear-view
At the encroaching fate you'd hoped to avoid

It's a thing I drag behind me though, mostly got used to the weight
And if I try to make the best of it, if I see the dark abate,
No, I'm not exactly built for this, but maybe built to phone it in
Every mirror that I walk past, I think "Oh, Christ, not you again"

Stammer trying to explain it away
And if you can't tell that I'm bluffing, then hey -
If it can buy me some time for you to think that I'm fine,
I'll keep my panic to myself one more day

Well, time makes an ass of us all,
It's a remarkably embarrassing crawl
Only nature can haunt the ways we wish we could haunt,
As we try to will away our own ghosts

But all that aside, I feel fine
Though at times, I think I'm losing my mind
There's not a drug they'd prescribe that's able to override
The drive to darkness, to some starless black night

And sadness aside, what remains?
The intention or the damage sustained?
The way the words fall short of their quarry,
The way my memory's bound to trap me in time

And all the shit I can't explain, it swarms around me in my sleep
When you can't make out a single star from the expanse that stretches deep
You wonder, in it's enormity, where the meaning actually lies
And if there's not a cloud up in my sky, it's cuz I kept them all inside

All things aside, though,
It's getting late, so,
Bullshit aside, friend,
I think we know how this ends.
