Poltergeist
from Sore Losers by Strike To Survive
lyrics
My old bones remember a time
like fingerprints on the walls of my mind
now occupied by ghosts and someday strangers
living in a yellowed burnt polaroid
half distorted and fucked up by the years destroyed
I can't see through the fog of time
since then I've learned that nothing is heaven sent
and I don't see anything wrong with it
why waste your years attempting to repent?
and all those innocent memories
carved on the trunks of every worthless american tree
they're all we had
Now I'm screaming through the hallway tiles of doubt
searching for water in an endless storm of drought
we'll never have again
I attempt to soak up
soak in
I come up short
dried up once again
What can you do at a time like this?
revisit bliss? sickness.
scared shitless
can't fake this
gotta deal with my consequences
the world turns, I want to stay right here.
like fingerprints on the walls of my mind
now occupied by ghosts and someday strangers
living in a yellowed burnt polaroid
half distorted and fucked up by the years destroyed
I can't see through the fog of time
since then I've learned that nothing is heaven sent
and I don't see anything wrong with it
why waste your years attempting to repent?
and all those innocent memories
carved on the trunks of every worthless american tree
they're all we had
Now I'm screaming through the hallway tiles of doubt
searching for water in an endless storm of drought
we'll never have again
I attempt to soak up
soak in
I come up short
dried up once again
What can you do at a time like this?
revisit bliss? sickness.
scared shitless
can't fake this
gotta deal with my consequences
the world turns, I want to stay right here.
