lyrics

Boarded up all too eagerly
With a sound contained to distorted whispers
The wear and tear of seasons gone
With shingles barely hanging on
A dilapidated frame in stress
And that's if we're being generous
Still...
Desire meet burn out
Desire meet burn out
Desire meet burn out
Permit my inquiry
How can you fall asleep now?
There's nothing left protecting
the world from shaking you down
Still lost in reverie
I can't even say aloud
Repressed but furthest from safe
Aging and mired in shame
Aging and mired, mired in shame..
Aging and mired, mired in shame..
It's played out
But I wish we could relive it still
It's played out
But I wish we could relive it still
To this day
With all the blemishes intact and all of the failed remains
To this day
With all the chemicals structured inciting a wild refrain
Rented a look
For a separate ill logic sense
God forbid I mistook
Your praise, your praise for indifference
Rented a look
For a separate ill logic sense
God forbid I mistook
Your praise, your praise was born
It's played out
But I wish we could relive it still
It's played out
The way that we are still dragging it out
Rebuild or refund
Displaced or devout
Ignoring the end
Reform the divide
Aging the heart
Cleansing the mind
It's played out
We're not unique
We're not unique
We’ve grown to believe
Desire is fleeting burning out the weak
