lyrics

like when the dam collapses
like when the snow all melts
when you've shed every tear
and shed the skin of your former self

who was standing by your side
when they left you there to die everytime

they see you shaking hands, your shifting eyes, and your bended knee
not looking for consent, they're only taking what they need

who'd help you dry your eyes
or who'll help you break their spines anytime

why is the only thing i can say
"things will get better in time"
how can i help you
off of this ledge
when i see how you're broken inside
i couldn't face this world if you died

so let's go find distractions
let's make another song
or daydrink, play pinball, blast Propagandhi, and sing along
we'll laugh at inside jokes
while we're in strangleholds
just tonight

it's the only thing i can say
things all get better sometimes
can't change the past, but these memories last
so the past will look better in time

like when the summer's heat is over
killed by autumn breeze
i hope you find a way to rid yourself of this disease
til then i'm on your side
i know how hard you've tried
everytime.

about

MORTARS Tennessee

The part of the lake where all the trash washes up, the driveway at the house show when the AC is broken and it is too hot to play inside, the basement where you have to watch what you step on and the air feels real heavy. That is where we shine.
