Brilliant Resilience

I never meant to bring this up

But how could I be unbothered by

The wait outside?

Wake up, my love, wake up

You're falling asleep

Holding tight to names and numbers

You dial in but you can't remember

From treading water to drowning in zeros

I never guessed our time would be for letting go

So spare me the pain and war stories

I've spent days on end staring at the ceiling

And old bones will break; I smell the beginning of the end

So dig that knife on in, knife on in

Do you remember secrets that we told each other?

We swore to never grow old; oh, watch me shake now

Remember the accident?

Remember what you said to make my head explode?

So spare me the pain and war stories

I've spent days on end staring at the ceiling

And old bones will break; I smell the beginning of the end

So dig that knife on in, knife on in

So dig that knife on in, yeah!

Oh, freeze when life stops distracting you

And breathe when moments are no excuse

No excuse

Leave when time only salts your wounds

Grieve the death of your vibrant youth

Stomp out your truth
