about

This song is about a lot of things and only one thing all at once. Inspiration included: Graphic design, needing to (and not) eating, stressful girls and being pretty pissed off.

lyrics

Say what you will say, and write it down in books
As if to say "You said it first".
Well, who cares?

Women are forgiven and forgotten all the time
So don't write about that shit, no,
With your books of rhyme and verse.

So I can't see
I keep my eyes closed late at night
So turn off your city lights

So I can't see
Who we are or what it means to be,
Well, anything at all.

And that's why there will always be songs that go a little bit like this.

So, say what you will say, and write it down in books
As if to say "You said it first".
Well, Fuck you!

Women are forgiven and forgotten all the time
So don't write about that shit, no,
With your books of rhyme and verse.

So forget your dreams and sleep
Don't turn off the radio!
Cuz they don't know what we know!

And if you forget one song,
If it makes you feel any better,
Well let it be this one.
Won't you let it be this one?

Giving thanks with open mouths and closed hearts
I'm sick of all of these parts
Where I lay in bed with nothing but bland typography in my head
Negative spaces and negative thoughts
Well I'm doing shots to blur these lines,
Descenders, terminals and spines
I think I'm forgetting spots
Broken hearts and broken tongues will never be out done
My fist fell apart in the night
When you thought I lost this one.

So I can't see, I keep my eyes closed late at night.
So turn off your city lights!
It's the same goddamn food
From the same fucking places
The same shitty meals with the same shitty
Faces share a name,
These people share a name
These places share the same name.

Well don't you see?
Yeah, we forgot it too.
