lyrics

wake me up when it's my turn to drive
the radio cuts through the quiet at night
we both know this is ending, breaking up the bed
but if we just keep talking we can make it to sunrise

the wine's wearing off and the cloud's coming down
all the pitch perfect poison spilling from our mouths
you scream until your voice goes and strip me down my bones
cause you don't have the stomach to say it out loud

that i'm a brick up against the wall
you need a woman who can make you a mom
and my body just reminds you of your pain and regrets

another long mistake on the tip of my tongue
holding me down in the past
but i'm just a broken brain going out of my mind
trying to get my future back

everything's closing in and falling apart
repeat advice that been given but never took to heart
i'm bad at being who i want to be
i'll try to get myself together when i know where to start

if god made me, then explain me
and the frenetic static that surrounds me
if hell wants me, then come claim me
and give me some kind of purpose, some kind of meaning

what kind of world are you saving for?
what kind of death are you working towards?
haunted by lost lives while we fight to survive
the curtains come down while we beg for an encore

there’s plastic in our blood
cameras recording everyone
and the death cult of capital
keeps running running running running

an open casket wake at the edge of the known
a deathly grip hold on the past
but i'm just a broken brain at the end of the world
trying to get my future back

i'm just a broken brain at the end of the world
trying to get my future back
i'm just a broken brain at the end of the world
trying to get my future back
