Best Days Behind Us

Hard to remember, time to forget
Best days behind us, our sun is set
An old soul is nothing new
I'd hate to wait for rain amongst the waves

Do you miss harmlessness
I miss my mother's ghost
I never wanted to be this happy
I never wanted to know
What lay beyond the onyx dark the night they foreclosed on all of our homes
It isn't fair and it's not your fault, my anthropocene rose
But you were born into it
A raw deal I know
Born into it
And that's just how it goes
Could it be luxury is a cruel and stupid thing
What if you and me could get off our knees and be like we were free
You play back memories and dreams of distant ghosts
While those who scorch the earth get paychecks
It's a fucking joke
But you were born into that
And there's no coming back
Born into that
And then it fades to black
I just want to go back home
Recall the distant dream of ivory snow

You keep bringing it up
I already said that I was wrong
You called me on the phone last night and said that you moved on
It's not really a problem if you and I don't get along
You're whine drunk on the couch again and I'm out having fun
Are those the streets that you call home
That flicker black and gold
You'll never know
You keep bringing it up
And you go out of your way
You keep bringing it up
And I don't know what to say
You keep bringing it up
You left all of your good weed in the backseat of my car
But you live outside the city now and I won't drive that far
Ya know, I wanna be in the movies
I think about it every day
I'm an atavistic idiot with nothing new to say
The outskirts of the city sleep cold and black like marble cracks open by neon light and decays

Sweet Dreams

I held it against myself, the things I didn't know
The very first kiss you and I had in the crowd at that DIIV show
Coyote cowards and toothless doubters can fix their hearts or die
There is nothing in this rotten world that can take you from my side
Every night, you and me
Sweet dreams
Waking up with stomach aches from happy, smiling nights
Drive around the city, see some city lights
Haven't been to her grave in a couple months
What if I just forgot the ones I love and went somewhere else to die
Miss my mother miss my brother miss the people who left my side
There are people in this world who will try to make you feel bad about yourself
Don't let them
Fuck them
Cold and lonesome every night no more
It was pitch black, it was so dark, but now I'm washing up on shore

You got some new black shoes
And I've got nothing to do
Let's take a walk outside tonight
Beneath the pale moonlight
We can talk about the things we miss
We can find a quiet place to kiss
I'm sorry that your mom isn't nice
It'll be alright
I can wait for this
I don't care, I don't care
You know you're killing yourself
Why don't you ask for help
You say that nobody listens to you
But it's all that I want to do
I took you out to the free museum
You said the paintings looked sad like me
And I laughed about it for a minute
And then you told me that you wanted to leave
It's been a while since we went to the beach
It's been a while since it was you and me
I'm sorry
When my mom was sick at the hospital I would drive there listening to Smoke Signals
Violet dusk would put the city to sleep
I'm reaching out through the dark
Friday nights in the back of my car
I know it's hard
You got something to say to me
Won't you try and say it with your chest
Because I was ready to get married
Have some kids and all the rest
