lyrics

Turn away from August’s child
and learn my way
throw away broken dreams
Guild these thoughts of missing out
with golden words
that melt into dried cracked ears
Who am I without you
Why am I without them
Where am I finding myself now
Drunk on lies I’ve told you
Whispered tries and drowned them
Fearless when numb and half awake

Face alone all the time
Try to put it in rhymes
breaking out of the mold
abandon form
Raised another queer
Foster only fear
Peeking out from the veil
Are you too?
Leave me here to die
feel my head I’m fine
Catch me on the low
where to go
This disease over me
Fills my head with dreams
erases all the doubts
lets the slow pain out

acting the sage
never my age
warning the soldier’s back home

A desert in this breath
take but nothing’s left
sandy spittle seeps
from the deepest place in me
Called you on the phone
Just blacked out alone
A respite sun dress
leave me to the rest
fell asleep in the rain
washed away the shame
growing in broke homes
true love never known
and I was not like him
and we were not like them
we found our own way out
but things are different now

and I don’t want to sleep forever
miss out on those words said better
by friends more clever than me
