lyrics

When all else fails like the daylight
and the sky hangs like a hot bruise
roots are breaking through the pavement
underneath you
these things are hard to pick up where you left them
harder still to let lie where they fall
most nights I hear noise sometimes it's your voice
if I'm lucky I hear nothing at all

that's not what I meant
when I said goodbye forever
that's not what I meant
when I said goodbye forever

I love whatever planet you are anchored to
whatever skelington you hang from
I love all your little rituals
I love a little dedication
you've got all these killer instincts
I've got all my magic spells and yet within the depths of empty rooms is where we spend ourselves

that's not what I meant
when I said goodbye forever
that's not what I meant
when I said goodbye forever

A building rises like an evil skeleton giant and the sky can shine right through
and you go out to meet your failures wherever they may wait for you
but I know that your love will devastate them
your love will terrify them
and everybody quietly will learn to hate surprises
It's alright that's all fine
nobody I know gets to be their best self all the time

so don't go changing don't go growing don't go leaving us alone again
you'd say Myles I can drag you out of the water but nobody's going to help you swim
I see you becoming viscous, turning to liquid
like all fluid things you are drawn to the moon
with water's indifference and distance crosswords
like pillars of salt we dissolve into you
this is the ring i want to sling you when you're feeling overboard
where the water is as smooth as a dancefloooooooor
