Ruins - Aloha

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
