Aloha Ruins
the cupboard is bare
I've been watering the fields
that I should be harvesting
treatments come
I never turn the page
months are a mistake
it's like 29 days
keep my daybook clean
I'm never ready to leave
keep my calendar clear
I'm not going anywhere
I walk in the stagnant sun
a chemical reaction if there ever was one
I fought the tyrannical sun
I try to forget, but your memory won
I walk among the ruins
I tried to forget but I couldn't do it
the cupboards are bare
I've been hunting things
when I should be gathering
weekends are a waste
I never leave the grounds
the weekend can break me
it's like 24 hours
keep my good days free
keep my eyes closed please
to everything, everything
I fought the tyrannical sun
try to forget, but your memory won
I fought the tyrannical sun
I try to forget you, but your memory won
I walk among the ruins
I tried to forget but I couldn't do it
I've been seeing the signs of my surrender
I've got backed up & nobody can send it
I've been seeing the end
I've been seeing the signs of no direction
got backed up & nobody can send it
I've been seeing the end, seeing the end
we were giants on a plywood stage
in the evenings I was your household name
& for a little while I knew all the words you'd say
coming from the movie
hold me for the credits
I was just beyond camera
right outside the frame
waiting for a getaway car
that never came
at the end of the story
I was just beyond camera
right outside the frame
waiting for a getaway car
that never came
waiting for a getaway car
that never came
