The First Eviction Notice Songtext

von The Lawrence Arms

A temple corroded. eviction pending.
Embrace me, old nights, gray sky, streetlight.
Lyrical descension. attention fading.
Breathless i'm a mess. kissless i'm in distress.
I'm barely breathing.
This crowning anguish, looked up nervous reflex.
I've got to build up from the inside.
A relapse. reflection. distorted.
Repression's smiling spitefully.
Longing for you to sew up my seams.
I'm barely breathing.
I've abandoned old identities, skin I couldn't fit into, songs I couldn't write, my voice will fade into this starless night.
Can I get much blinder? can I kick myself much harder?
Have I accepted this, to torture myself? you can't see me.
Have I invented you?
I'm barely breathing.
