lyrics

it’s another party tonight
sorority basement, fun
there’s drinks in the corner, overpriced
but it helps to beat the confusion
some bands I maybe care about
but would never choose to hear
was this the right night for this
or is it a jarring shame?
blitz me out til I forget my name
down here it’s always the same
not sure if now’s the time for flying

everyone’s having fun around me
but here I sit in space
everyone’s having fun without me
and I’m running last in the chase
that one friend everyone else has
whose presence makes me ill
I don’t get why they keep him around
but it makes me nervous still
rather be in the kitchen crying
don’t know that I’ll survive the night
feel some shred of optimism dying

what a night we could have had
guess I wasn’t built for feeling glad

tarot cards read breasted souls
at the foot of a burning hill
could it predict I’d pay five bucks
for an hour of nothing worth the bill
is it safe to run out into the night
past the police checkpoint?
jaywalk smooth, falling into the groove
and everything’s all right
but if that’s true then I’d be lying
fallen, I’ve lost the day
feel some shred of optimism dying
