Possum 04:23
These shades of blue are fading into black just like you These secondhand stories that you claim are yours all seem flawed All your friends and alibis, You pushed 'em all away as they uncovered your lies There you are with your lips sealed tight Caught red-handed, now you're playing dead White lies can't save you anymore I can't even save myself from all this mess you put me through A compromise won't mean anything anymore I think it's all messed up that you're still playing the victim You're all skin and bones How will you even keep this boat afloat Never mind the dial tones You're way too fucking cynical Cut the act and look around There's barely anyone here to be found 'Cause you drove them all away like a tidal wave White lies can't save you anymore I can't even save myself from all this mess you put me through A compromise won't mean anything anymore I think it's all messed up that you're still playing the victim Your bloodshot eyes These sleepless nights Malicious intent Wrapped around your head Your bloodshot eyes These sleepless nights Your plans of revenge Have all gone wrong White lies can't save you anymore I can't even save myself from all this mess you put me through A compromise won't mean a thing anymore I think it's all messed up that you're still playing the victim

3 AM You're driving on the highway till the sunrise With a pint of gin in hand Will you wait for everything to bend Will you run away again You're on the point of no return You left me here with all these words that I can barely keep to myself I'm not holding on to every lie and every word that you unfold I'm not giving up, just barely moving on I'm not growing up, just trying to go on If you pull me down again, I swear I'll tear you apart I don't want to hear it Someone, please shut the door Honestly, I think I've had enough There's gotta be something more than this Falling for empty promises You said you'd make up for it I don't want to believe Drive past the tollway with an empty wallet I don't care Go find your way home Stab my back with your flying pocket knives as you please I'm not giving up, just barely moving on I'm not growing up, just trying to go on If you pull me down again, I swear I'll tear you apart I don't want to hear it Someone, please shut the door Honestly, I think I've had enough There's gotta be something more than this What would you say if I told you that I don't even know your name anymore These fabricated memories that you planted like a seed Do they mean anything at all Think of me as you fall asleep As you crash your car into a tree I'll be there to tell you that you're wrong Think of me as you fall asleep As you crash your car into a tree Give me back what's left of me I'm not giving up, just barely moving on I'm not growing up, just trying to go on If you pull me down again, I swear I'll tear you apart I don't want to hear it Someone, please shut the door Honestly, I think I've had enough There's gotta be something more than this

about

Two songs about getting back up on your own feet after being dragged down by people you should never have trusted in the first place.

We hope you enjoy these tracks as much as we enjoyed making them.
