271 Lyrics

Half one on a Friday, wasn't my day

I hadn't heard a word for three or four days

The irony, I thought you could be okay

Was busy being something I'm not, facing the ashtray

'Cause you had been through worse but you'd still answer the phone

To lift me up with the words, I wish that I had've known

What if his heart gave out?

What if his mind was gone?

What if he's already passed and I'm the last to know?

The phone rang and my ma just made a dart for it

Knew by the look on her face this was the start of it

Silence, drooping eyelids, the body's lifeless

The last time that me and you spoke, d'you know what I said?

Yeah, neither do I

I was probably too stoned out my mind to see the signs

You were probably hoping I would stop by and make time

I'll regret that every day of my life until I die

Now my red eyes only seem to show me what's behind me

Trying to hide from my mind but in time it always finds me

And I fight with the truth every night in my room

Thinking this could all be different if I find a way through

But the pictures won't change as long as I stare at them

And our messages saved in the chat, you're never active

Like the life in your casket, when I saw you last and

I slowly slipped past it, no smile, haven't laughed since

If time heals minds take it a day at a time

But three years dragged by and you're fresh in my mind

Watching Monster House on the famous couch

And three spice bags, no veg, straight to the house

Front page of the paper mate, you finally made it

Might've took your whole life but you're finally famous

But life is overrated if you die to find greatness

It's the people we meet and our memories that make us who we are

Yeah, you make me who I am

And you didn't wanna go

I was too young to understand

That that's the way things are

But I'll meet you when you land

And how was I supposed to know?

The last time, I still can't

I still can't, yeah

Now every time I go to find time I'm so inclined to go change minds

'Til the only thing connecting us are telephone lines

Then the only thing that's left of us just gave up and died last night

It's been a long time so i'll hesitate

I'm on a lifeline, I'm risking everything

And in the daytime I'm trying to meditate

I'm losing daylight, it's time to medicate

They hear me screaming in my dreams when I'm sleeping

'Cause Seán came back and I wish you could've seen him

But I guess I was dreaming

My eyes fixed at the ceiling

I guess I'm just believing what I want to believe in

Seeing shadows on the walls tonight

I'm seeing ghosts that are ten feet tall tonight

I need a new way to get through my sleepless nights

Don't wanna smoke, I'm gonna smoke tonight

I'm like a body with the soul subtracted

All the times I wish I did, I never reacted

Everybody's butting in, I've always been passive

All the thoughts I kept in burnt my skin like acid

And it's melting through the casket

Yeah, said it's melting through the casket
