lyrics

So easy to get beat down.
Hear my heros try to call my name and sigh.
Let them bruise you 'round your red crown.
Yellow banners pull you back to the days you'd buy...

But why would anyone know?

Gentle burning on the way down.
Can't remember when the hurt could taste so sweet.
Didn't mind just what I paid now.
Take a moment to exhale and maybe breathe.

And I won't let a sip go.

Take warning with my eyes but
Everything is caramel and phosphorescent plastic shells.
The summer makes me sweat what,
I imbibe from kitchen sings, soda bottles, cola drinks.
Still morning what I drank from
Vessel of a beverage lost, the memorandum of the froth
The taste of every single,
Drop and fizzle, cola sizzle.
