firma (feat. Mount Palomar)

Here lies the body of someone who could've chose their words better

The ground below, it feels so paper thin

When all you know is caving in

All sense of self gets swallowed up

The deepest depths in which I never look

And the chances that we wasted

Of so much precious time

Weigh heavy on these weary shoulders of mine

Here lies the body of someone who could've chose their words better

The place where I'm goin' is more crowded than ever

And though I hear you now, you could've chose your words better

Here I stand at the edge of my mind

Fragmented and clouded, wrapped tightly in disguise

Their weight upon my soul, a heavy price

The pit in which I discard thoughts from another life

Live in the past as if dripping in gold

The faces are fading now as I get old

Waves of nostalgia, they spill over me

Broken foundations encased in debris

Transpose the lens from that of love to lust

Like rose-tinted glass with thick covers of dust

No light can enter, yet dull glow escapes

The hum of the fallout embalms the mistakes

Dreams of green grasses when I close my eyes

Get left in the dark 'til they wither and die

Those shades of yellow then turn brown to black

Choked by the ash, they will never grow back

Never grow back

Never grow back

Never grow back
