lyrics

I’ve been here so long
I don’t know where I would go
Looking for a brighter shade of sadness
And I bite my nails,
I feel like I have failed you
the way you almost failed me

I want to be someone’s no-brainer
I’ve already been a storm-bringer
and I know how to bottle lightning
til it fades

Summer’s water broke
She wandered off
I hope there’s a place
where we can soon be happy
My scarlet fever broke,
the butt of cosmic jokes and falling weight
just like a Roman ending

I want to be someone’s no-brainer
I’ve already been a storm-bringer
and I know how to bottle lightning
til it fades away completely
until it fades

I want to be someone’s no-brainer
I’ve already been a storm-bringer
and I know how to bottle lightning
til it fades away completely
and I know how to bottle lightning
til it fades away completely
so follow me

Cuz we’ve been here so long
I don’t know where we’d go
Searching for our special kind of madness
