did I talk too little?
did I take too much?
well, now that we've made contact I think we should lose touch
you can make excuses, cut off my tongue
instead of spitting fire I'll be spitting blood, spitting blood
I don't know what I think I'll find on these long walks by myself
maybe I'll figure out who and where you are
maybe pigs will fly and I'll will myself to love you less
and we'll take our bones down a backroad in my car
but it's all just a ride to the train in the morning (mhm)
I am sick of wasting time caring about people who won't give me their time
I am sick of saying it's the last time when I'm pretty damn sure it's not
I am tired of obligation, acting caring when I'm vacant
I need a permanent vacation from these thoughts, from these thoughts
it's like a song I've sung for so long I don't know what I'm singing it for
it's got me jaded and insecure it's got my vocal chords shot
and when I'm around you I sing the same sad tune again and again and again and again and again and again
I wonder if you're wondering but you're not
NO it's all just a Rolling Rock on a Thursday
and this will come as a shock, but what you don't say
says more than words could reveal
we used to scream now we just make a squeal
speak to me or just talk to me
before I'm dead and gone
remember me, remember me
remember the forgotten song
and I don't know you put I'm pretty close with the fog
oh, but I'll never learn the way behind that mask
despite my head on your lap on a cool autumn night
the warmth and the cold of your squinting eye
and I'll hear the echoes of your safe haven's call
and you'll never hear anything at all
My dear friend Toren and I collaborated on these songs during our freshman year at Connecticut College when we performed as an acoustic duo. Sad, playful, painfully young, and pretty good. Connor Storms
