lyrics

Fall asleep with the light on if you fall asleep at all
A night that replies with silence even when you call
Secret Spitter in the alley, Pentecostals every night
Summer trash wrapped in plastic waiting for the dumpster dive

Gold lettered invitation with initials intertwined
If the future feels familiar it's a dread that's justified
You can torture yourself or you can cast it all aside
If you dare to be happy or not, the morning still arrives

It feels for everything all you do is apologize
Summer trash wrapped in plastic under fear that's calcified

You can torture yourself or you can cast it all aside
If you dare to be happy or not, the morning still arrives
