lyrics

a silence in carelessness
the new year is here
uninformative loss of words
the uncomfortable stares
remake an ambivalent crossroad
of lowercase waves
the stairs in your back room
leading to where

you keep your torches
unlit and untouched
waiting for some new kind of faith
to fuck your hair up and you wake up
to a new sound

the one that you found
& to a new feeling
that makes you smile when no one's around

the things that we’d laugh about
in a previous haze
dries off in your black hair
disappears into air
i’d think your mercy ruler
was a few inches off
firing the four tires off of
the speeding free car

believe i’m right here
i’m weak and it’s time
back to when i thought i’d change
and back to the place i was told i’d never be

back into the foothill
the map that has led me
cross eyed and crawling
i’m tired of blaming
