lyrics

I rise as the night owl
I fall at dawn
Stayed awake so long
And all I found
And all I smoked
And all these songs
Are just reminders
Of my failures
I could have had her
But it don't matter
She made me mad
I made me madder
It don't get bad until after
After it's too late to unmake
Bittersweet mistakes (just reminders)
I try pretending they're fake
Till they blow up in my face
I've been a wasteful disgrace
Detached and distant
Everything I do is in bad taste
Isn't it?
This shit is sour mayonnaise
Slathered in pidgin shit (just reminders)
That ain't nice
If I think I'm so intelligent
Then why do I act so ignorant?
That ain't right
This shit weighs me down wherever I go
That ain't light
Now my friends are telling me I need to change who I am to get high
That ain't life

They're
Just reminders
Of our failures
Just reminders
Of our desires
Just reminders
Of our secrets
Just reminders
Of our past

The people of Metropolis
will listen to whatever Superman has to say
In 1938 he told them women had the right to vote, smoke and be gay
So if his words still ring true today
How do I ever have a chance to pray
That my own words slip away? (slipaway, slipaway, what a waste)
I have to know so I can decide if it came out wrong
Tell me
What the fuck is the purpose of even making this song?

Just reminders
Of our failures
Just reminders
Of our desires
Just reminders
Of our secrets
Just reminders
Of our past
Just reminders
Of our dreams
Just reminders
Of our dreams
