Screwing In A Lightbulb

(album: There Are Leeches In Denton Lake - 2021)

We've got a new ice cream shop in town
Ever since you left, you wouldn't be aware
Of all the things that changed
While I'm still stuck here watching paint dry

Pizza parlors, nail salons, and
The sinking feeling life's passing you by
Burn money on college, graduate
And never stop to wonder why

What part of the story is this?
What part of my story is this?

Give me a sign, I've been trying to turn a light on
How many people have something like that
I'm wasting away but I guess it's kinda my fault
You only get in what you put back
Euphoric styled self-indulgence
Live a movie, life is hard
Consequences only matter if
You have a plan to get far

You know Miami's the place where
People never tell you what they think of you
I miss your blunt honesty, the way
You'd let me dig holes for myself

But if we're being honest
You always knew that things would end in flames
You're an agent of chaos
And I was your stupid little game

Did you think that I'd never find out?
Or did you always want to watch me fall apart?

Give me a sign, I've been trying to turn a light on
How many people have something like that
I'm wasting away but I guess it's kinda my fault
You only get in what you put back
Euphoric styled self-indulgence
Live a movie, life is hard
Consequences only matter if
You have a plan to get far
Oh, far

Did you want to sing this with me?
Did you want to hear that you were right?
I was never gonna make it anyway so
Why am I crying?

Oh, I'll bow my head
I'll clip my wings
I was never gonna make it
Anyway

Give me a sign, I've been trying to turn a light on
How many people have something like that
I'm wasting away but I guess it's kinda my fault
You only get in what you put back
Euphoric styled self-indulgence
Live a movie, life is hard
Consequences only matter if
You ever plan to get far

Oh my God
I'm falling for you again
And I
Can't seem to catch myself and
I'll break my nose
Open right on the pavement
And remember
How you threw it all away
