lyrics

We rolled a gram of weed up in a torn page of my history textbook
I put it to my mouth, inhaled the dates of major battles and the names of dead presidents

And you laid on your back
Felt the galaxy collapse
Felt the meaning in me twitch
Saw your motionlessness

And my thoughts chased yours like foxes, yours ran away like rabbits
The prose got too dramatic, you were diving from the rafters
You were swinging to the time of some silent metronome
I was chewing on the dirt, they were burying me alone

And I met you on the asphalt
And we waited for the cars
The headlights silhouetted our sneakers, we were gone
We transcended to the next world
We made lots of brand new friends
We confirmed the only truths of life: it starts and then it ends
We confirmed the only truths of life: it starts and then it ends

And you were on your back
Felt our rib cages collapse
Felt the air start to rip
Saw your motionlessness

And all that we drank in high school is gone
All that I drank in high school is gone
It lives on, it got recycled, now it pumps through my heart
And all the shit you smoked, I guess it stayed in your lungs

“No vacancy” in blue and green and lit up just behind your eyes
Murky, winking, looking at me, all the patrons get denied
I was ranting, it was just that, I’m not making any sense
I didn’t know what was happening and I haven’t known since then

And all that we drank in high school is gone
All that I drank in high school is gone
(x4)
