i will make it through the day
just to head straight into another
there’s no rest for the thick-headed
i’ll leave the burden on my soldiers
to carry it out across the desert
all the way to the sea
whose waters once invited me
in the shimmering sun so deceptively
out for some drinks so unforgiving
i’ve tasted their poisons before
should’ve been enough, but i will take some more
every night i’ve got my watchmen
stationed and bracing for the bombs
you left behind to keep me away from you
as if explosions could stop me
from what i’m destined to do
so one by one fortifications fall
good thing i’ve learned to feel nothing at all
there’s nothing left for me out here
except the ghosts of every odd-numbered year
so let’s suppose i don’t survive
i’m a guaranteed fantastic burnout
i’ll last just long enough to see you arrive,
crestfallen ‘cause you knew this whole time
what i was on about
This is just one of those albums that are in the perfect place at the perfect time. If you described it to me, I probably wouldn't listen to it, so just go listen to it. Seriously. You'll be glad you did. Morgan LaVigne
