lyrics

Seventeen cigarettes cashed in a tray
I use my lungs as a mirror
Everything normal just burning away
What’s left over is clearer

‘Cause what you do, it matters

Heart attack heroism all in the same
Breath it takes to recover
Penny stock alchemists praying for rain
Trade one trick for another

‘Cause what you do, it matters

In the summer after the holiday
Through paralyzing heat we wait
For the next heartbreaking mistake
In the summer after the holiday

Show me the arc I promise I’ll act
Like every day is a century
Sitting here loudly judging the past
While the present is silently suffering

You know it levels me out
By how much pain you'll take
If I say I don’t want you
You love me anyway

Crossing my heart and hoping I die
In a way that makes you proud of me
Never was a man OK with a lie
When the truth was right in front of me
