lyrics

it came to us as we returned; a rather paralyzing placard.
tidings written out in ink.
it wasn't hard to discern

(so) i found everything that i could live without to sell
to keep this place standing on its too feet.
although, i can see it crumbling from within.
honestly?
i wouldn't be surprised if it fell.

there's a lot for them to say.
i'm just a visitor observing dismay.
a cacophony of words.
stronger than the blizzards in this town.

i can almost hear the pieces falling
around every single one of us in this house.
yet we try to keep it from falling down
at least for now we'll keep these people standing on the ground.

it's far too much to think about right now.

so let's enjoy the time we have right now.
because in years this won't even matter.
because in years we won't talk to each other.
because in years we'll forget this even happened.
because time heals all wounds they say
and none of you really mattered anyway
so good luck my friends!

i hope to see you all again someday.
