Translation
Bilingual
Should we confine ourselves
to confidants' intervals?
So bent about our shelters,
blinds to open windows
Would it all be cut losses
and squandered farewells?
We Could Be Brave and see how it ends
Oh, the ways
I've forgotten how to stop
Flinching, inching
Distance me from earshot
Exhausted, my options
Take what time l've got
Breakthrough at half past 5 in the morning
Don't feel much better, better than nothing
It's moving at a glacier's pace, I need a higher dosage
Each catalyst more cataclysmic, crashing in slow motion
Still not quite sure how I never seem to catch it comin'
Misusing all my languid strength for all this shit I'm hauling
I know these things by name
I often wish they'd just stop calling
Just to justify my Sisyphean crawling
I'm losing all my saving grace
But saving face I'd take
Or some way to savor
My never-ending ache
It's moving with an anxious gait
I need a higher dosage
Don't say it's more than I can take
Some pressures never let
As much to overcome as left to comprehend
Close enough to grab it
"I don't wanna know"
Scattershot habits
Ricochet in echoes
We deal in distance, in hypotheticals
The shoulds, coulds, and woulds
I know these depths so well
Carved in the image of their maker
Despite how it might feel
Like the presence of another
If you mirror me, hate your reflection too, I'd hardly blame you
If you mirror me, hate your reflection too, I'd hardly blame you
Oh, the ways I've forgotten how to stop
(We could be brave, we should be safe here)
Lunging at my own tail, flesh for me to gnaw
(We could be brave, and just wait to see how it ends)
If this breaks, then it's a wound that I can gauze
(We could be brave, we could wait out the end of days)
Not numbered, but bulletpointed
And some days that's all I think about
My ache is forever
My ink's running out
This ache is forever
At least tonite's just for now
This week's just for now
This month's just for now
Could this ache be much longer?
Where the fuck's my way out?
'Cause God knows I've tried
To go outside
At least once or twice this month
Looked down, in, and out
Still came up at loss for answers
We could be brave
Try to set our eyes back forward
So perhaps I hesitate
Because I'd rather stay
Fuck better than nothing
For 5am there's nothing better
Wash yr face, brush yr teeth
Make yr bed, take yr vitals
All you can do is wait in that skin
To see how it ends (just like the rest of us)
Potential was squandered, no energy wasted
If you see to the end (just like the rest of us)
Should you feel beside yourself
You're still right by the rest of us
We could be brave, we should be safe here
Would it be so far off-course to live because you will it?
Couldn't be a lesser force than the spirit that permits it
We could be brave, we should be safe here
We could be brave, if we just wait to see how it ends
We could be brave, we should be safe here
We could be brave, if we just wait to see how it ends
We could be brave, we should be safe here
We could be brave, We could be brave
