Lyrics

[Verse 1] I started out okay, I learned from my mistakes Watching the birds peck something dead on nova-burned highways And thought it could be worse, living on an empty purse It could all fall apart, but I won't waste time on what doesn't work My day routine's an act, I've made a nighttime pact My mental scars in mason jars I keep in cheap glass stacks You've got a broken joy, cake pans and children's toys Clanging together on a tether in a voiceless noise [Chorus] Your back can break in a bucket seat Your cool demeanor melts in the choking blue of highway heat Your hеart can squeeze itself to stone You can't rеverse the arc of all the verbal trash you've ever thrown So hold on to the highs and love the lows [Verse 2] I put the words down first until the music heard It bled the notes into my fingers til my knuckles hurt And everything I hate's got an expiration date I'm waiting for my repertoire to slowly marinate [Chorus] Your back can break in a bucket seat Your cool demeanor melts in the choking blue of highway heat Your heart can squeeze itself to stone You can't reverse the arc of all the verbal trash you've ever thrown So hold on to the highs and love the lows [Bridge] It's gonna roll on by, the carrion has died You carry on until you're gone and then let go and ride And shatter all you keep, throw it in a garbage heap Whoever's next can have the rest until it all repeats [Verse 3] In time I forgot all of the game I brought My brain is framed like Jackson Pollock painted all my thoughts They're spattered on the street, a hushed cacophony With glassy eyes and no one tries to swerve just out of reach [Outtro] Your back can break in a bucket seat Your cool demeanor melts in the choking blue of highway heat Your heart can squeeze itself to stone You can't reverse the arc of all the verbal trash you've ever thrown Your back can break in a bucket seat Your cool demeanor melts in the choking blue of highway heat Your heart can squeeze itself to stone You can't reverse the arc of all the verbal trash you've ever thrown So hold on to the highs and love the lows
