Desolate - .

bandcamp (best quality): spotify: produced, mixed, mastered by Josh Schroeder video by Steven Ekstrom and me lyrics: “All that is gold does not glitter” all we love cannot live forever welcome to the real world where all things good must die so tell me why (so tell me why) 20 some years gone in the blink of an eye you left me where I stood with the quietest ‘goodnight’ so tell me why do you ever take the time to look up at the sky? is this how it ends? with one chance to repent a fatal paradigm can we stay the night? and pretend it’s all fine welcome to the real world where nothing will align so tell me why (so tell me why) can’t we leave things where they fucking lie? you left me where I stood and you watched me burn alive so tell me why do you ever take the time to look up at the sky? so tell me why our contradictions collapse in the act as our lives cycle back to decay and relapse is this how it ends? is it all what you’d expect? trapped in shades of black and white can we stay the night? and pretend it’s all fine (oh god, take me back) take me back to those days long past take me back to what we had count your blessings on one hand and even though I’m terrified can we stay the night? and pretend it’s all fine as you drift in and out of sight “All that is gold does not glitter” and nothing good lasts forever if I live with an empty chest you can take what you need and leave out the rest because you once said it best “truth is often said in jest” I’m still just living by habit (living by habit) wasting my time to wax nostalgic I’ve fucking had it because you once said it best life is so much worse now that you’re gone fuck.
