lyrics

So this is your secret mistake
ripping off 90's bands that never made it
fake crazy for attention's sake
relying on substances to be creative
harboring a violent urge to hurt yourself as you smile and wave

In the early days of your noble pilgrimage,
your path was lined with perfectly stacked cairns
but the trail faded as it entered the mountains
and your compass used to work now it just spins and
you've forgotten why you left in the first place
and watch as everyone you love moves on to their next phase
had a falling out with your guardian angel
you're not sticking the script and you look like a fool now
to a lot of people, but not to me

Don't worry if the life you chose accidentally defies conventional expectations placed upon you
I consider you my sole ally
my measure of what's right

So this is your secret mistake
sinking in a tomb of all the things your too afraid to say
dwelling in a dark and inhospitable place
about to implode under a pressure you're imagining
that's the same wild thinking
that has brought the world some joy, gave this dark world some twinkle
and your's is a face we could use around here
stick around, you're vibes are like fireworks saving the day again

Don't worry if the life you chose accidentally defies conventional expectations placed upon you
I consider you my sole ally
my measure of what's right
Hanging with you is my safety meeting, keeping me alive
