lyrics

We walked to the river in silence
Bad-tempered and barefoot again
What's magic when everything's science?
Why bother if everything ends?

I swore I would keep my cool
So long as you stayed in school
So long as we kept it light and
Survived through the winter

But the brook made us face our reflection
Such clarity turned our mouths dry
This water won't dillute the truth, I'm afraid
We are doomed to disposable lives

We're just like our folks I fear
Fixated by funhouse mirrors
In falling for all we hear
For a false sense of comfort

But what makes you think
What drives you to drink
Where you run to hide
Why you're scared to blink
Why you want to die yet long to survive
Why you can't call home
Why I can't call you mine

I've got the world on the tip of my tongue
You, you've spent several years staring into the sun
Well considering how, well, the way we are now
Well I wonder what we will become

Draw back as he digs for his dignity so
And I cling to my pride darling, you ought to know that
These flings never last for as long as we'd like
I confess I grew distant the instant you broke down in front of me

What composure you claim to keep
Tightly tucked in your fist slender fingers let slip between
Predisposed and resurfacing sublte blows to my self-esteem
Frozen over the surface seems, and it's only the season but
What better reason to kill such a perfect thing
