lyrics

7). Heirloom

Passed down,
passed out.

So tradition plagues us.
It's just like a silent film
playing in a big empty room,
and it's only remotely reel.
So the ghosts choose to ignore it.

year
after year
after year
after year
Stuffing the bottle full of maps,
until we'd left everything.

Yeah, we bothered leaving a legacy,
yeah, but it burned us right to the ground.

Look what I found:

here's a Box of photographs,
every frame is
charred forgotten bread.
here's a bunch of camping gear
stories on the
tips of sad tongues,
making vows to never pass it down.

year
after year
after year
after year
pouring a glass full of traps,
and we've barely said anything at all.

Yeah, so we bothered catching the fireflies,
yeah, but we felt so bad we opened the lid.
They clung to it like an heirloom
they were too afraid to never leave,
making vows to never pass it down.

year
after year
after year
after year
after year
after year
after bleeding fucking years,
I'm so dried up.
And I've clearly had enough.
I'm too drunk on your touch.
I'm so fucking doctored up!
I think I've had enough.
