Frictional Damage

[Verse 1]
We all get lost in our mid to late twenties
Acknowledging that nothing is ever good as what It seems
Accepting the notion that things will get better
But I beg to differ

[Verse 2]
The floor fell from beneath me, so I made a new basement
There’s nothing to lay on, so I keep my eyes open
There’s ghosts all around me, demons in my head
This life’s a fucking nightmare, will it ever fucking end?

[Pre-Chorus]
I thought I was just in a bad mood, I realize now it’s just always been you

[Chorus]
Won’t sing along to your siren song
Thought your hope was a beacon, but it burnt out like a bulb
No, I won’t sink, I’ll drift along
And if I capsize, I’ll spew saltwater from my own lungs

Won’t sing along to your siren song
Thought your hope was a beacon, but it burnt out like a bulb
No, I won’t sink, I’ll drift along
And if I capsize, I’ll spew saltwater from my own lungs

[Post Chorus]
I put my trust in this, was it all in vain?
We’ll go up in smoke, you’ll go down in flame
I put my trust in this, was it all in vain?
We’ll go up in smoke

[Bridge]
I never said that this house wasn’t haunted
Cold spots cut like mornings in autumn
I never double back on a promise
You’re a leech with teeth like broken bottles

I never said that this house wasn’t haunted
Cold spots cut like mornings in autumn
I never double back on a promise
You’re a leech with teeth like broken bottles
(I won’t sing a long to the same song that led me on)

[Chorus]
Won’t sing a long to your siren songs
Your hope was just a beacon that burnt out like a light bulb
(I won’t sing a long to the same song that led me on)

And I won’t sink, I’ll drift a long
And if I capsize, I’ll kick, scream, tread water until I’m gone
(I won’t sing a long to the same song that led me on)

I won’t sing a long to the same song that led me on
