Like The Honey Badger

Every night's another loss
Of sleep, of time, of peace of mind; another piece of mine
Every night alone I remind myself
That I could sleep through worse

You're still the chase dream where I’m always getting caught
The waking sweat in which I always drown
Now fed to death, the guilt has spit me out

Just vanishing bodies in a fog;
That’s how I always imagined he’d take us all;
Before color leaves the face of Fall
Before a single flake of snow can learn to love the ground

It's in times like these we find ourselves;
Tongue-tied too tight to rid our wounds of dirt
It's easier to live a lie
So live a lie when it's all you've done before
I never meant, for what it’s worth
For us to make this more than what it was
Now the ghosts of our past paint the walls above my bed
And I'm in love with them

If ignorance is bliss
What I would give to be ignorant
Beyond appearances

At least I know I'm wrong
At least I can admit that I could never be as strong
As the people who at least will try to prove
That they’re better than what they’ve done
At least I have that, right?

We were just kids
Summers seemed shorter back then
Nothing meant more than what we said
When we made this into more than what we were
