lyrics

On the last day with the marching band
Sat on the bus knowing that those days were nearly over
Missing the group of loving good friends
Before violence and drugs and before the pain heartbreak platonic
Smell of basement where touch became okay and
Despite the infractions it still was found an interminable friendship
Caught up in summer nights, laugh beside the pool and
The kiss of a wind vaguely aromatic of finite elation

So let's all hear, what did the group see when they split stale bread? Wash down water bottle recycling
Preserve the future
Like acetaminophen, you forget the pain if you simply block the potential

Empathy for devastated harmony, what's left to feel
This gravity this tragedy a towering kaiju that's crushing the planet

Revisit alone, windows rolled down
Driving past places you once lived
Trying to hold white hot tears back
But magma can burn through your skin

Uncommon it was to find a place to fit in
And once it was lost there was no safe way to pick up again
Stuck square in the center where you all broke everything the fuck apart
Still clenching my chest holding my aching heart

Years from now I hope there's a reprise
Repair with truth, cautious love, no more lies
As if a storybook could guide your way
Seek happy ending ever after again

The hopeful wish couldn't undo damage done the mendacity or erroneous pattern suspicion
The court is adjourned and a verdict reached without the evidence that reality could ever be shown


Stop, the group's going to be fine
Presently surrounded in a circle
Stop, the group eternal lives on
Pop out and float around the world
