lyrics

Hey hello old friend
I know you’re trying to forget
But I’m your loyal day one
Always in the stands counting fun

Speaking this language I create the gun
Speaking my language is easy for no one
This thing was given to me by the water
These words I speak with no problem

Words will come up when they’re weighing my heart
Cadence inflection the whole fucking art
Sadness will spill to the people I love
I shouldn’t have spent so much time in the dark
All that I wanted was death to my air
Wind was defeated in films when I cared
All that I wanted was calmness and ease
Mountains and cabins and pines in my trees
Oh

Never pull it off
The greatest theft of all
That most disgusting brawl
Never even speak that tongue
