about

pure delusion

lyrics

our heads filled up with explosions + then grew too heavy to handle
so we gave up + we caved in + bought ourselves a box of prayer candles
I killed myself + then my friends + hung our heads proudly on the mantle
watched from afar til the wax melted laughing til we were hysterical

sitting cross legged + all cross eyed we crossed our hearts + hoped to die
cheers to living here's to hoping that the best part has yet to start

things get good then get great when you go from AWOL to postal
life feels real the air tastes sweet im alert + awake at the funeral
tint my glasses the color of roses + sew together my barely open eyelids
watch closely as the grass grows back til all the details become bearable

life itself will catch up to you even when you want it not to
you will know the entire truth when it finally finds you

if it all ends just like this, gorgeous + sick in a blink of effulgence
if it all ends just like this stunned in amazement, waiting for oblivion
if this is life if this is it... ill do what it takes, to take it.
I will be... patient, laughing, choking, screaming
