Lyrics
I’m tired of waiting for people to change, building them up just to watch them cave. I can feel in my bones what’s possible, but you keep turning away. You make it sound like it’s everyone’s fault, but I’ve tuned that noise out for good. There’s only so long you can mourn someone who’s still in the room. And you say it’s fine And I say, it’s fine. You fade into the silence, I’m guilty of compliance, guarding every motion, craving that oxytocin. Like tears from my child’s eye but I haven’t cried since. There’s nothing left to do, just wait outside the bar, staring at my phone, hoping it lights when I’m alone. All those years now wasted so near and yet so far. You keep saying the world’s unfair, like the world ever promised it’d care. I’ve been holding the line for both of us, but the rope burned through somewhere. Maybe you’ll die inside your quiet, and I’ll just keep sweeping the floor. Funny how grief becomes routine when love’s not work anymore. And you say it’s fine And I say, it’s fine. You fade into the silence, I’m guilty of compliance, guarding every motion, craving that oxytocin. Like tears from my child’s eye but I haven’t cried since. There’s nothing left to do, just wait outside the bar, staring at my phone, hoping it lights when I’m alone. All those years now wasted so near and yet so far. I think I already buried you somewhere between guilt and grace. This one’s just the last funeral I’ll hold in your name. You fade into the silence, I’m guilty of compliance, guarding every motion, craving that oxytocin. Like tears from my child’s eye but I haven’t cried since. There’s nothing left to do, just wait outside the bar, staring at my phone, hoping it lights when I’m alone. All those years now wasted so near and yet so far. --- Lyrics written by SED NO1
