lyrics

"Hi Soph it's mom um I want to know how you're feeling. I hope you're feeling better, mentally. There will be light at the end of this tunnel"

Born before destruction
Took a toll on tilted ground
It was a weathered tethered
Television testing without sound

It was a moving mist of monsters
Always sifting in the air
Only showing face at midnight
Only speaking with a stare

Rounding bases in the summer
Rolling all over the sand
Tan and tossing in the towel
Galavanting over land

Landing where the weather washed her up
And diving down below
To the mossy mildew hell she fell
Into an undertow

In the minds of many
On the tips of tongues
In the cemetery
Of her flooded lungs

All the people pleasers
In their fair despair
Rose around their reasons
All to keep her there

The sirens are singing a tale of the times
Awakening all of the speakers kept inside
Of their bubbles so sturdy their
Armchairs so tall
Awaiting the day that they all get the call

But there’s a fast car coming
And it’s hard to move
Got a weighted blanket
So I don’t have to

And the sun is shining
Said that makes you blue
Wish that I could help
There's Nothing I can do

Wanna wake up back inside
My grandpas car
With the windows down
He says it isn’t far

From the water rushing
To the rocks below
Where I’ll hold on tight
And then never let go

But there’s bottles broken
On the city streets
We were heading home
Would you just let us leave

Cus there’s people dying
It should make you ill
Got a lot to say but
Hide your money well

And well it’s getting dark out
Now I’m all alone
I should turn around and
Find my way back home

As it starts to pour
I think I’ll take it slow
Let the weather send me
Where I’m meant to go
