lost 'cause

(album: interrobang - 2021)

I took the midnight path
In the aftermath
Tearing at the sutures
Is a new way back
To a broken past
Just a broken future

I heard you tore it all down
Destroyed the world we found

Are we a lost cause
Or are we just lost 'cause
We won't be the future we refuse to see?
And if I'm your lost cause
It'll be your loss 'cause
You won't see me as I am, not the enemy
I'll be your lost cause

Do you remember us
On a late-night bus
Taking everything for granted?
You said it's scary with the lights on
That my love songs are fight songs
But my punches never landed

I heard you tore it all down
Destroyed the world we found
The world we found

Are we a lost cause
Or are we just lost 'cause
We won't be the future we refuse to see?
And if I'm your lost cause
It'll be your loss 'cause
You won't see me as I am, not the enemy
I'll be your lost cause

Are we a lost cause
Or are we just lost 'cause
We never see the future we refuse to be?
And if I'm your lost cause
It'll be your loss 'cause
You won't see me as I am, the possibility
That I'm not the enemy

I'll be your lost cause
