Pointless Function

Taking aim at a pointless function

You remember then (you remember when)

All we ever had was structure

You remember when (we were living it)

A mirror image, just a sequence

You were just a kid (playing house and then)

All our dreams just flattened out when

All these unknown waves came crashing in

Now I don’t know your name

A loss that’s here to stay

Built a life on a savior complex

You were just a kid (you were just a kid)

All we ever had was comfort

Just begin again and get used to it

Now I don’t know your name

A loss that’s here to stay

I don’t know your name

A loss that’s here to stay

Stay

Raise your hands until you give up

Fill up, you’re full

We aren’t exactly the same

The sparkle washed out in the rain

I’ve been tearing through old photos

Finding something new

In place of what used to be just like you

Just a crease in the shape of some other life

Where this home’s not a home at all

You call me in, savor it

Swallow deep then say what you mean

And then, caving in

We celebrate the end of this
