lyrics

I’m gonna hate you ‘till we’re just bones
Till it’s all deathly quiet, ‘till it’s all overgrown
Till we return to the dust beneath the calmness of stones
I’m gonna hate you ‘till we’re just bones

In the stillness of nothing, in the calmness of dirt
All the restlessness resting, where I can’t feel the hurt
I’ll forget how I came here, forget what I’ve known
But I’m gonna hate you ‘till we’re just bones

I’ll let myself out
How could I have faith in something that I don’t know shit about
Stuck fast to me like catholic guilt
Feigning honest, upright posture so no one notices the stilts
An epitaph of thoughts I mumble when I feel the most alone
I’m gonna hate you ‘till we’re just bones

I’m gonna hate you ‘till we’re just bones
Till I’m sober and rotting beneath the calmness of stones
Till I can’t be a bother to the kindness I’ve known
I’m gonna hate you ‘till we’re just bones

I’ll let myself out
How could I have faith in something that I don’t know shit about
Stuck fast to me like catholic guilt
Feigning honest, upright posture so no one notices the stilts
An epitaph of thoughts I mumble when I feel the most alone
I’m gonna hate you ‘till we’re just bones

I am not the man I thought I'd be

I’ll let myself out
How could I have faith in something that I don’t know shit about
Stuck fast to me like catholic guilt
Feigning honest, upright posture so no one notices the stilts
An epitaph of thoughts I mumble when I feel the most alone
I’m gonna hate you ‘till we’re just bones

I’m gonna hate you ‘till we’re just bones
Till it’s all deathly quiet, ‘till it’s all overgrown
