lyrics

From all that could've been to all that never was
From stop to stop to a home that holds no love
From a younger frame, built to slide through life
From ideas to ears, to sentiments out of style

Your life speeds by in overdrive, too fast to last

At a volume loud enough to knock you back a step
To the stars, the sky parts to strike you down
Stripes you've earned by unlearning all your depths
In quiet despair, in a new language you found

In the end I'd like to think somehow we would be missed

A callous on your tastes and on your sense of shame
Returning to a place unshaken by heartbreak
The weekend you hope that you won't live to make
There's sadness in that smile that hopes you never wake

We're all one bad idea from our untimely ends
Celebrate all that we hate living in a disconnect

Priceless vice, advice it's way too late to take
Not a demographic or a reason to create
Out of sight and mind, your opinions hold no sway
Life's work an artifact now interest has waned
