lyrics

Hope dancing in a cheap ignorant annniversary suit
I don't regret any fantasy I ever had about you and me
Do I still move you? does it thrill you to know
about my little life?
so loyal and so quiet

A paranoid bubble floats out of the hugeness of the system
pops on my head and tells me
the king of love is dead
and you knew him but not that well
you were close enough to tell
no one in this city noticed they should've noticed
now he's gone

I'm finding it harder than you
the cracks in my armour are new
it's starting to show through
the signs said it
I'll be glad for what I have

I often bump into my heart and soul
it's mishapen unguided well meaning chaos
leaves me with no answers
just a bunch of excuses and dirty dishes
with no action just reaction
to these melodies and comedies that come
with being me

The basics of being alive can sometimes cause my skin to crawl
and fly off these bones
I can propel them to huge and powerful labours
but how do I decide what that is?
When the battle is with yourself

The well is really that deep
But looking inwards has made me weak
Pour something pure
and I'll cyphon a cure
so we can move on
Let us move on now
For what we have
I'm so glad

Hail to the habit of loving
It can often be found
Bringing me around instead of letting me down
or shutting me in
For what I have
I'm so glad
