Standard Issue Lyrics

Solace in the yard

Emptied out the pool

Standard issue belief in something new

Couldn't figure it out

So it's back to the house

For good

Nothing gets away

Nothing good can stay

Nothing pushing the bounds

Slowed down in the rain

Getting into the back of a cab

Disappeared for days

Someone said to just keep moving on

And when you've circled round the block

To still be of the world is harder than it is to sell it off

And with the groundswell underneath

Pick up the pieces and you'll see

It wasn't built to last

Run aground

Come apart

In the morning

Try to find your way back to the car

And try to say

You used to know

Some kid who wiped out half a mile from home

The way's the same but you don't remember how it goes

Someone said to just keep moving on

Until you've circled round the sun

You find you're holding on to what you can but can't beat a return

And with the groundswell underneath

Pick up the pieces and repeat

And looking back I thought I saw

Your headlights wound onto the street

You said you feel it coming round again

Been tearing at the seams

You laid your head down on the sand

I guess the water was too deep

And I'll keep looking to the back

But there'll be nothing left to see
