killing it

lyrics

I collect discarded gifts from
former lovers whom you no longer love
photo albums filled with secret faces
you won't admit that you once loved

maybe someday we'll find something
nothing seems to fix
save for later sister sorrow
another tomorrow that we missed
never thought we'd live like this

look away, they're killing it

I always have to stop and look over my shoulder
these ghosts I won only grow bolder
we all must learn to haunt and stalk our hearts by night
our petty needs and wants dictate our alibis

unrequited unattained unrepentant a little stained
unimportant without a name

maybe someday we'll find something
nothing seems to fix
save for later sister sorrow
another tomorrow that we missed
never thought we'd live like this

look away, they're killing it

call me stranger we're in danger
the concept of who we are
call me lazy, it's you who made me
watch the sunset in your car

if we can live then we can die
if we can love then we can lie
it's just that the future seems more distant
without you in it

maybe someday we'll find something
nothing seems to fix
save for later sister sorrow
another tomorrow that we missed
never thought we'd live like this

look away, they're killing it
