lyrics

Lord knows I've started some fires
And you're the ember that never quite died
oh I tried to stamp you out

I buried you beneath smoldering boots
With oxford commas, some other things to,
and all that I could do without

I bought a new pair I'm breaking them in
With heavy nights in dens of sin and squalor
till my feet bled

Closing time broke into a run
I called my father and he said son
Just shut up, and go to bed

Morning, rising, silent, and you're still here
Sunshine, shining, dying, and you're still here

At first I tried to drown you in drink
I'm just drowning myself and starting to sink
Bailing whiskey into the john

My eyes will water but I won't cry
I've got ethanol burning my insides
Won't be sorry, when my liver's gone

So bartender, another round
I'm so god damn low can't get further down
Than the bottom of my glass

I lean and slur at the man next to me
Spitting venom at love and he says please
Just shut up, your time has passed

Moonshine, sirens, violence, and you're still here
Luna, save me, blame me, cause you're still here

And in the drunk tank I saw the light
but the fluorescent bulb was far to bright
and it washed out any lesson learned

I remember you in that orange dress
on the lower east coast, we were at our best
Soon after, there was nothing to burn

I recall the day my high horse died
I was sitting in the kitchen, way too high
When you walked out into the snow

A month passed till you got your stuff
You took most of mine it wasn't enough
for a clean start

Morning, rising, silent and you're still here
Luna, save me, blame me, cause you're still here
