So we left both our lives to dismantle themselves on our behalf
And we came back wounded and glowing in the aftermath

The streets melt down and they reform strange in the night
Through the fog and feeble light its foreign but familiar. Synapses flicker

For all our gnashing teeth in the night time, scenes replayed on repeat
I knew the faint cry of my old life could never compete

So when the morning came and your features cease to distort
We took a slow and aimless walk away from the city


Where in the vein we were fighting off the seasons
And you were in search of a lie worth believing
When all that you once knew withdrew its meaning
And it all falls in, onto you again and again

So when the years just amount to bereavement and hold you in no regard
Do you exhume what you buried in your childhood backyard?

The suns on the suburbs now, but it won’t last long
They’d mowed the lawns the day that your mum died

And I was there but I was barely hanging on
And then it all just hits at once

Maybe the outline, it never was mine to fill


And in vein, we were fighting off the seasons
And we were in search of a life, worthy of leading
When all that you once knew withdrew it meaning
and it all falls in, onto you again and again
