I Kind Of Think Emo Music Is Fucking Pointless

from Struckout by Struckout

lyrics

Have you been keeping all your time?
So deep inside your chest
I can see years pushing themselves out just behind your eyes

Every memory runs circles in your mind
What’s worse, just the numbing feeling?
Or a sharp sting in your chest?

Have you tried every exercise?
A perfect key into the slot, a nice bow on a life

But it just turns to grey and black
Sweat and lie awake for hours, just like me

Now I spend half my time searching for a salve
I’ve got lightning on the interstate
A little something to keep me around
Now I spend half my time searching for a salve
I’ve got bookshelves filled with memories
A little something to keep me around

Where were you in October?
A lukewarm California fall wraps its hands around your throat

A cold ringing in my hand
It plays again and again
This isn’t funny, it isn’t funny

And what a terrible drive
Every time I closed my eyes I saw the worst things

You’ve always wanted the perfect song about you
Well this is it, do you like it?

Now I spend half my time searching for a salve
I’ve got lightning on the interstate
A little something to keep me around
Now I spend half my time searching for a salve
But I’ve got the weight of art around me
A little something to keep me around

Now I spend half my life searching for a salve
I’ve got hours of conversation, love and warmth
Now I spend half my time searching for a salve
I’ve found enough, I can almost see yours

And I’ll never pretend like I could ever understand
It’d be an insult to you and your intelligence
But I need you to get up when we finish, just like I did
Every time I never told you

I know how these conversations go
But I’d have them a thousand times if it meant we kept you
And if you ever forget what you’re worth
I’ll remind you until my throat is raw

Get in the car
I promise I’ll forget this if you just make it through one more day
It’ll be alright
I promise I’ll forget it
