We re-entered the atmosphere and ignited into flames
I thought our heavenly bond might keep things the same
But I guess I was wrong, because everything changed
Cuz the astral plain continued to call out our names
However, you and I were both eons apart it seems
I lived in a fairytale; you lived in a wounded dream
But nothing matters when you’re a part of the murder scene
We’re all just ants in comparison to the grander scheme
So here we exist; another sad story to tell
I left you alone to deal with your summer spent in hell
A k-hole compromised to sedate your own sad life
A friendship comprised of chemicals we had inside
And here I am, another sequenced pattern of vice
Please believe I would’ve done anything that sufficed
But you got caught in a riptide I just couldn’t fight
It helped you commit to your most elegant slight
I’ve spent some time alone to get used to this blight
I’m rotting to the core can I please get some light?
I’ve got a sinking feeling in my stomach; it says I’m trite
I just want you to know that everything will be alright
And there you are, just a shell of your former self
You’re just tattered remains stored somewhere on a shelf
It took me twenty and half years to act like myself
It’ll take you another twenty and a half to find yourself
Welcome to another rainy day spent with the scum of LA
Our friendship was a photo that fades as soon as you look away
Our memories return as you come out of your hallucinated daze
I hope that all you’ve done to yourself is just a passing phase
I can’t wait around for you to rescind your steady demise
I’m looking to one day mean the world to the right pair of eyes
But I no longer need to be enveloped by your web of lies
I held on for as long as I could but fucking Christ –
Leaving never gets easy but it’s getting impossible to stay
Look at the fabric of our friendship, it’s all torn and frayed
You jumped into the abyss with both feet and said “anchors aweigh”
But I won’t be another victim for the K-Hole to claim
Can’t you see that I keep growing while you just stay the same?
I wanted us to grow together but you were playing a different game
If this is love, it hurts so much and the pros are way overplayed
The cons keep pulling you down and now you just can’t be saved
