lyrics

Bridges burning at the cruxes of my descent.
The fortunate will repent.
Bad ideas and karma can always get me bent.
Unfortunate, it will present.

I’ve done all this talking about who I used to be.
Who I used to.
Just a little bit better, well beyond my dreams.
Well beyond me.
Oh well, oh well, oh well, oh!
Oh well, oh well, oh wellower.

Blisters forming at locations of this friction.
Feel pressure build, then it’s done.
Sacred forces pull me from marching flames abound.
Forever entrapped in the sound.

I’ve done all this talking about who I used to be.
Who I used to.
Just a little bit better, well beyond my dreams.
Well beyond me.
Oh well, oh well, oh well, oh!
Oh well, oh well, oh wellower.

It seems my regrets
Don’t resent me yet.
(It doesn’t feel the same.
I’ll fight in the shade.)
Yesterday’s food don’t feed today’s hunger.

Pretend to get
The points that I’ve meant.
(It never feels the same.
I know who to blame.)
You were the one with the guilt of the undead.

I’ve done all this talking about who I used to be.
Who I used to.
Just a little bit better, well beyond my dreams.
Well beyond me.
Oh well, oh well, oh well, oh!
Oh well, oh well, oh wellower.
