lyrics

(reject reject reject reject reject)

As the ice melts, the senators freeze and
I miss a time that I never even lived in
What more proof do we fucking need than
Mid-life crises at 23? Yeah,

that math isn’t lost on me.
Is this what we’ll be doing when
Is this what we’ll be doing when

The ceiling caves in?
Fleeing presence for the safety of a reference?
Hikikomori.

Let go of the one where you make an escape.
For clarity’s sake,
it’s best to reject
nostalgia.

The future’s looking bad,
but it still looks better
than the odds of the past
ever, ever coming back
Never coming back.

Teeth clenched and a weight on my chest, I
come to every morning like I’m bracing for death, wearing
tanned leather like a bulletproof vest, treading
paths that outlived the pines they once weaved past.

And that’s what he was doing when,
that’s what he was doing when—-

Is this all we’ve been doing with—

these passing seconds that could’ve embraced us?

Let go of the time where it seemed okay
For present’s sake,
it’s best to reject
nostalgia.

Reject nostalgia.

The future’s looking bad,
but it still looks better
than the odds of the past
ever, ever coming back

Never coming back.
