An Attempt to Tip the Scales |
| Did you expect it all to stop |
| At the wave of your hand? |
| Like the sun’s just gonna drop |
| If it’s night you demand |
| Well, in the dark we are just air |
| So the house might dissolve |
| But once we’re gone, who’s gonna care |
| If we were ever here at all? |
| Well, summer’s gonna come |
| It’s gonna cloud our eyes again |
| No need to focus |
| When there’s nothing that’s worth seeing |
| So we trade liquor for blood |
| In an attempt to tip the scales |
| I think you lost what you loved |
| In that mess of details |
| They seemed so important at the time |
| But now you can’t even recall |
| Any of the names, faces, or lines |
| It’s more the feeling of it all |
| Well, winter’s gonna end |
| I’m gonna clean these veins again |
| So close to dying that i finally can start living |
