Weird Leisure

(album: A Celebration Of Endings - 2020)

Where's everybody going?
Is it around to the pleasure house?
We're fighting an ugly war
And it's no good to freak out

Oh please, it's obscene
I've seen your true colors
And there's nothing underneath only green
I stared at the pictures of canyons open between

When I caught your eye, I glimpsed a black star
Going on and on, you're not looking civilized

You're busted into pieces
You've polished off your cocaine
Your face is fucking numb
I can see the fear in your heart
Look out the window
See what you could've had
And I could be, I could be the
Best friend you ever had

Where's everybody gone?
They've all abandoned my house
Nobody comes and goes
But it's not good to freak out

Oh please, it's obscene
You focus on others
And just pick apart their dreams
It's fucking mean
I tear at the stitch and there's nothing on underneath

When I caught your eye, I glimpsed a black star
Going on and on, it's a shame to be civilized

You're picking up the pieces
You're stepping off the ghost train
You could've been the one
I've got no more fear in my heart
Look out the window
See what you're gonna have
And I will be, I will be the
Best friend you've ever had

Weird leisure comes when all pleasure goes
Weird leisure comes when all pleasure goes

Weird leisure comes when all pleasure goes
Weird leisure comes when all pleasure goes

You picked up all the pieces
And started your life again
You're my number one
I love only hope in my heart
We're at the window
Surveying all you have
And I believe, I believe that
It's my turn, don't hold me back

It's my turn, don't hold me back
It's my turn, don't hold me back
It's my turn, don't hold me back
