Sleep Where You Fall

from lowball by Nicknames

lyrics

(Tyndall) Consistency? The future is the only thing I see slowly creeping up on me.

growing up defines tough luck
like throwing up the excess that you slugged
to keep you breathing, teach you something
even just to wake you up.

depraved and righteous
life is like this
and you'll miss your friends

growing roots cement your shoes to the pavement
no evasion
"i'll just stay here a few more years"
to hell with this selfish well-wish
helpless? i doubt that
have you melted with the tarmac
can you not taste how stale this place is yet?

are you enslaved and flightless,
chained to this island?
is it worth waiting for your friendships to end?
sleep where you fall
keep it surreal
let your feet feel the concrete jungle
sleep where you fall
keep staring at your potential
though the rain seems so torrential

the sorrow in realizing where we are is all we know
and we know nothing's a crushing blow

so set your sights on brighter lights and squint your eyes
shut the windows, go outside to feel the wind blowing
it's nice right?
a new life slice tastes better than the antiquated pie
come take a bite

______________________________________________________


through advice i give
i find myself a hypocrite
here at my best still thinking back
to summers i spent sleeping in THE shack

through this life i've lead
i find parts of myself already dead
here at the top, everything to lose
bury my half broken heart underneath the golden goose
