lyrics

Forever waiting for a bus that's cancelled
my dreams used to be sincere but now they only extend to Empty bottles
Wishing the best for my childhood friends
for the times we spend now may just be means to an end
I wish the best to loves laid to rest
a past built on regret can be past well spent
All that's left to do is document standard steps of aging
The days feel less important now its milestones we're gageing

Memories rotting away
Could you lapidify emotion enough to want to live forever
Like pain doesn't hurt, like fear isn't real
Like excitements out of reach like there's no reason to feel

Wash yourself of past acquaintances
Cleanse all hope to ever see those fading smiles again
Selfishly keeping your head above water
By standing on the shoulders of others

the lighter flickers attempted evasion of old age
a few steps more as I make it to the gates
the harshest judgement comes from within
and I doubt I'll ever see myself worthy of ever getting in
so here is where I'll wait
for that bus to come and save me from my fate. For that bus to come and take me away

If there's a way
To stretch the day
I wish I was at least half awake

The best thing about the end of the world is the end
