Showbread Regret Consumes Me
It must have been easier when we were younger
and the world takes place two feet outside your head
Then something expanded and you start to feel stranded
so you scramble outside of the skin that you shed
It must have been easier when the lights were brighter
and the girls were screaming your name
Then the bulbs burn out and you’re left in your doubt
and everything starts to feel the same
You couldn’t stand it I suppose
Life comes and then life goes
Some things nobody knows
Some things nobody knows
It must have been easier to feel in control
Where you were so small and you needed a way to feel
big
So you took all you could and it felt pretty good
Then suddenly you’re aware of what you did
It must have been easier to be somebody we knew
or maybe you felt spent
Suddenly you’re gone and everything goes wrong
No one knows just why you went
You couldn’t stand it I suppose
Life comes and then life goes
Some things nobody knows
Some things nobody knows
You couldn’t stand it I suppose
Life comes and then life goes
Some things nobody knows
Some things nobody knows
Some things are easy, some things aren’t a breeze
And some of my branches stretch out and bear fruit
Some branches die when they freeze
Sometimes I think of you
We couldn’t stand you I suppose
Life comes and then life goes
Some things nobody knows
Some things nobody knows
You jumped from a plane that you thought would explode
And you slowly drift your way down
With the dead weight gone the plane flies on
The madness in flight, the safety of the ground
