Halley's Comet

(album: Sword & Sorcery - 2023)

[McGwire:]
I'm falling, I'm calling a memory of you
I fall on your walls that I never come through
And we change, I know, so please take my call
No problems, just talking, what else can we do

[Rustage:]
Sometimes I feel like I'm an awful friend
The weeks go by and I'm counting texts I've left all on read
I'm paralyzed like these message are unsorted threads
Right at the water's edge
And endless list of connections I've gone and torn to shreds

People think I hate them when in truth I always thought the best
Forgot to keep in touch because my brain is like a hornets nest
It's not like I'm deceptive or creating lies and false pretense
I want to stay in touch
I'm just terrible at it
More or less

When I talk I leave them bored to death
Always rambling bout myself and never known to pause for breath
I don't filter through my thoughts the mouth is gonna forge ahead
If I wasn't me then I would always come to your defense
Never meant to cause offense

Don't deserve the love as I respond with sorta awkward texts
Kindness feels the opposite to responses I ought to get
Apologize a lot I can't do much I guess that's for the best
I say that I'm too busy
But I sit alone
And talk with death

[McGwire:]
I'm falling, I'm calling a memory of you
I fall on your walls that I never come through
And we change, I know, so please take my call
No problems, just talking, what else can we do
(Aye, nah, nah, nah, nah, nah, nah, nah, nah, nah-nah)
It's like Halley's Comet
It don't come for long enough

[Rustage:]
We are nothing but just passing stars
Lighting up the night and feeling warmth amidst the aftermath
Sometimes its exhausting to be pressured into heart to hearts
The clock will keep on ticking and I can feel us drifting far apart

Need my time for rest and piece
My little bits of brevity
Even if we haven't been talking
You're still a friend to me
I'm sending out messages like I'll hit you up next when I'm free
But can't decide between them when I spare my little energy
I've heard what you've been telling me

I'm thankful for you time
But I can't help to overthink and read between the lines
There's words I say that work and what these people seem to like
But I'm not unaware my whole approach may Need a redesign
I need some piece of mind
I'm talking
But I'm talking bout my work
And then I'm talking bout my words and the components of my verse
Cause I'm not making friends with talkers, always waiting for my turn
And I should stop with all these selfishness
I get what I deserve

[McGwire:]
I'm falling, I'm calling a memory of you
I fall on your walls that I never come through
And we change, I know, so please take my call
No problems, just talking, what else can we do

[Rustage:]
I'm sorry for the friends that I have let down
It feels good to get some of my own regrets out
I Hope you know I'll keep caring 'bout what your doing
But my methods have been distant
Understand if you think less now

I'm full of self doubt
I'm full of worries and the fear of being left out
But I can only blame my actions
And my disappointing absence
So I'm here to say I'm sorry
Apologize with my head bowed

[McGwire:]
I'm falling, I'm calling a memory of you
I fall on your walls that I never come through
And we change, I know, so please take my call
No problems, just talking, what else can we do
(Nah, nah, nah, nah, nah, nah, nah-nah, nah, nah-nah, nah, nah, nah-nah)
It's like Halley's Comet
It don't come for long enough
