about

we back at it

we sad

i've just, uh, had some trouble moving forward, y'know?

a lot's happened, and it's hard to just kinda act like it hasn't

and it's hard to believe that the future isn't just more of the same

anyway, season starts tomorrow, right?

chin up and all that, i promise that i'm in better shape than this track would suggest

this is the negative emotions being let out, or something

yeah

lyrics

lyrics:
has this storm passed, or are we trapped in the eye?
if you still dread a second coming, has the first one really passed you by?
if you'd made your shelter from the scattered detritus
would you dare to venture outside the iris

will you know what can be done when your hut hardly fits one?
when there are fourteen more beside you, with no blases left to run
i still act like i'm a credit to my team
and i still act like i know what to do
but i feel like we're all caught in the high beams
scrambling, doomed, and without a clue

i will watch us sink
forgotten forevermore
no matter how hard i think
i still won't remember what i did this for

i know that i can't be the only one here that can see
the only one whose fear outweighs relief
and who could we be kidding if it isn't you or me
and how many other apples are falling from this same damned tree

and if this time has made us rotten to our core
can you look me in the eye and say what all of it was for
if i cast my lot down a bottomless black well
then who can i blame when it all ends up in hell

i will watch it sink
and maybe i'll start to see
no matter how hard i think
i still can't shift this weight off of me
