Formerly known as 'Fuck Titles'.

lyrics

When we were sitting in that room
With the bed and the rifles
And the gaping hole in the wall
I knew it was too soon
To be humouring our demons
But what choice did we have after all?
And they were at the door
Yeah, they had us surrounded
They were coaxing us to that pale death
To be like we were before
We got smart and got wise
And learnt there's more just air in a breath

And sometimes I think that they're right
At times I wish they were right
And my mother can't look at me the same way ever since I started drinking and smoking and swearing even though I

At least pretend I care
About me or my health
Or whether I'm feeling happy today
Cos I somewhat aware
That nothing's gonna work out
Like I picture it in any way
And here sitting in this cage
I have just enough room
To get the smell of piss out of my nose
And I look back on every day
I spent beating around bushes
Stumbling through your life with my eyes half-closed

And I don't regret a single second
No, I don't regret a single fucking second
But I know that closure's good and change is right and whatever, all that bullshit, and that I'm some self-destructive moron, even though I

Yeah, today I tried to eat right
I've been trying to fix my body
One step at a time
And I say I feel alright
And we've patched up the cracks in the ceiling
So now everything's fine
But I still feel the raindrops
Splash onto my face every night
And I'm afraid to turn out the light
And when someday the pain stops
I'll gather up these sheets and pillowcases
And set them alight

And someday I'll bother buying the matches
But I doubt I'll end up buying the matches, instead
I'll buy another instrument and make music about how everything is shit and I'm fucked, even though I

I probably can't complain
I've no right to complain
