Pleurisy lyrics

[Verse 1:]
Hello depression, hello obsession
This decrepit friendship
Put the x's on lips
Every syllable missed
Every twist in the mix
Made me wonder who I am when I already knew
This alignment of blues made the violence confused
How the violins played out like slitting my wrists
Up the block, not across the street, to the picket fence
Where the kids sit and wish for holes patched in their ships
Friendships get missed when the fabric gets ripped
That's a tactic that sits in the attic of witch
Smell the Liquor and vomit when she's blowing a kiss
Cause she's cloaking her dents and not owning that sh*t
That's why flowers exist and they wilt without water
Skinny love gets thinner in a system of honor
Antagonised the offer the fatherless daughter
Can't see without her eyes closed inside of her monster

[Hook: x2]
You know that though
Those old back roads
Don't go back home
So you sold that soul
When you rowed that boat
Yeah, stay afloat
With them lungs all water soaked
[Verse 2:]
And you are too. I hope regret never finds you
I hope you’re happy, and the happiness guides you
‘Cause opposites attract to the opposite spectrum
Mirrors on mirrors, and the mirrors that reflect them
There's toxins in the oxygen lost within the options when
You opted for the obvious friend
I used to be him, I held that sh*t for ransom
When handsome doesn't make love feel like no anthem
And whispers get mixtures that carry tomahawks
That swing for the bleachers when they cut a level head
I want a conversation but instead I feel death
I hope you talk me off the ledge so I don't jump into bed

[Hook: x2]
You know that though
Those old back roads
Don't go back home
So you sold that soul
When you rowed that boat
Yeah, stay afloat
With them lungs all water soaked

[Bridge:]
It's like you think you want to know
You find out you never really wanted to know anything
It's like you're haunted
But then what?
[Outro:]
The hate all left I never thought that it would
The hurt never did but I never thought that it could
She put the misses in understood and used it like firewood
And burnt our house down when she walked away for good
I don't know if that's evil I just know that she's not
Dark spots on heart knots that turned into nooses, and
When the only person you can love ran out of uses
You wanna shut the lights out and turn off the music
