Lyrics
The cupboard is bare
I’ve been watering the fields
That I should be harvesting
Treatments come
I never turn the page
Months are a mistake
It’s like 29 days
Keep my daybook clean
I’m never ready to leave
Keep my calendar clear
I’m not going anywhere
I walk in the stagnant sun
A chemical reaction if there ever was one
I fought the tyrannical sun
I try to forget, but your memory won
I walk among the ruins
I tried to forget but I couldn’t do it The cupboards are bare
I’ve been hunting things
When I should be gathering
Weekends are a waste
I never leave the grounds
The weekend can break me It’s like 24 hours
Keep my good days free
Keep my eyes closed please
To everything, everything
I fought the tyrannical sun
Try to forget, but your memory won
I fought the tyrannical sun
I try to forget you, but your memory won
I walk among the ruins
I tried to forget but I couldn’t do it
I’ve been seeing the signs of my surrender
I’ve got backed up & nobody can send it
I’ve been seeing the end
I’ve been seeing the signs of no direction
Got backed up & nobody can send it
I’ve been seeing the end, seeing the end
We were giants on a plywood stage
In the evenings I was your household name
& for a little while I knew all the words you’d say
Coming from the movie
Hold me for the credits
I was just beyond camera
Right outside the frame
Waiting for a getaway car
That never came
At the end of the story
I was just beyond camera
Right outside the frame
Waiting for a getaway car
That never came
Waiting for a getaway car
That never came
