Lyrics

Part 1 - The Past I put my thumb and my forefinger on a bookmark that looks frayed And I flip it to reveal exactly how I felt that day And now I place my index finger on the corner of that page And I flip it to describe exactly how I feel today But I'll turn back, just for a laugh So what do I say about the last 5 years When you're staring blankly at me Through a pile of empty beers? I'll say I lived for the day I'll say "the same inch of rain that once fell on my on my head was twelve inches of snow that I pissed my name in" long before I changed the dynamic of all the terrain and forced it to rain And I know what you're thinking, I know it's cliche I know it's much too soon to glorify yesterday I've got so much more drinking to do Mistakes that I'll constantly blame on you But for now let's pretend that these nights aren't coming to an end Part 2 - The Present Now that we've surpassed this elemental mass of an elephant that's taken up most of the space we're sharing Wiping off the sweat of my final will and testament Who will get the final resting place of all of these memories and mistakes Wiping of the sweat of my final will and testament Part 3 - The Future Approaching the wall that's keeping the wave of the life that I want painstakingly at bay So I'm chipping away regretting yesterday Every word that I write is a chore And I wish that I didn't have inspiration at every single turn So if you get the gas then I'll bring the matches We'll burn down Glendora and piss on the ashes And drink to the days Oh those wonderful days We're running as fast as we can with the flames on our backs Hopping through alleys and backyards Hurdling fences Ditching the matches covered in bruises and scratches, so G-L-E-N-D-O-R-A B-U-R-N in H-E-L-L
