lyrics

I still believe that the answers to questions are buried beneath your sleeve.
I'll never breathe under the water because that's not what my lungs were made for.
I'll never sit amongst the starlight, to look down; the earth's like a termite.
I'll stare at the tarmac and I'll wonder how something so solid is still bound to get cracks.

Hold your hand, you don't squeeze it back.
It's hard to relax when you'll relapse.

This year's came and went, just like the last ten of them.
In my honest uneducated opinion I believe it's in us all to die happy.
