lyrics

You sleep 1st
We'll take shifts
And if we drift into dreams
Pray that no 1 comes to catch us unaware
Uh huh
I lived a few summers scared
None with such subterfuge
Never thought that I'd lose
Pray that no one comes up my stairs
Maybe more for me than them
Pray I never have to kill
Wishing I had squares right now
Wishing I could just drown out all these sounds
Maybe things will be alright
Pray I never have to kill
Wishing I had squares right now
Wishing I had squares right now
Shit

No more memory lane
Seen what unchecked nostalgia can do to the brain
Better clear some space
Uh huh
No more playing these games
Seen what unbothered people do and it's lame
Taking up space
Uh huh
If you don't see this as life or death
Check your head
I squared my debts
So I'm not weighed down when I dive to depths
Not yet reached
Pray for me to make it back to the beach
Whatever pothole my blood first leaped from
Leave me there if I don't make it
Reprisals allowed if I was taken too soon
I don't predict or assume
I just wonder is all as I sit in my room
