Melodrama Between Two Entirely Bored Individuals

(album: The Romance Of Affliction - 2021)

You said "don't look surprised", I said it's all the same
I'm writing this for you to remember me

All this time lost to the patience of the hope we would burn out alone
We say we always knew that bleeding hearts can't sink forever
And so we say "move on"

Wasting my time, you've had it all along
Back and forth, back and forth, you're okay
Back and forth, back and forth, you're okay

Close your eyes and don't think twice
Back and forth, back and forth, you're okay
Back and forth, back and forth, you're okay

Oh god, with every whisper, I can't resuscitate
I know with the blood left around you
You can give in and fucking taste it

Crave the lust through misery
Just to breathe some life in through your conflict with yourself
Find solace in someone else

I'll put that ink on that paper
Like the blood that renders my heart persistent
So that the taste of our lips won't haunt your thoughts

Say something, not this time
This is my faded memory of lies
That we trusted to us

It's the last parting gaze

We say we always knew there was no promise of forever
And so we say "move on"

Back away (Don't look back)
Nothing lasts

Wasting my time, you've had it all along
Back and forth, back and forth, you're okay
Back and forth, back and forth, you're okay

Close your eyes and don't think twice
Back and forth, back and forth, you're okay
Back and forth, back and forth, you're okay

Retract the christened and all

By the way, there's something left
Bury your heart with me
