lyrics

It’s a thankless profession that nonetheless attracts the masses. It must give the impression that a murder of crows will emerge from the ashes. Impeding the pleading that typically defines this sort of wreckless hopelessness are remnants of my pride. I’m innately aware that my mugshot is plastered in the hallways of has-beens. In a state of despair only countered by flashes of insight into past wins. Preceding this seething indictment of my life were countless years I tried to steer this gutted dreadnaught clear of coastal lights. Each and every night terror a waking dream. Each and every crossbearer sins alike, indeed. Remember me just as though I never laid these plans to leave.
