Contractual Lyrics by Chase Petra

Liminal

2018

[Verse 1]
Last time I checked this
Wasn't real life
And we were just kids
Last time I checked, I wasn't a mess
Just a little undid
Last time I checked
Last time I checked
Last time I checked
I didn't agree to this
And I never signed a contract

Growing up wasn't
Part of the plan and
I was never really a fan of
Getting old or giving up
But it seems inevitable now

[Chorus 1]
Naiveities never been so appealing
And I'm obsessed with
Ignoring the feelings
I'm about to have to start
Dealing in unfamiliar things
Consequences have never been so dire
And all the pain that living will inspire
It's got me running from all I admired
To avoid the feeling

[Verse 2]
Cinderblocks on your feet
It's time to float now
You gotta swim or
Find yourself drowning
Roses rise from your face
You gotta cut them
No one can see that you
Are full of lovely
Or god forbid they
Deem you the weakling
And cut you from the cast
You've become nothing

[Chorus 2]
Naiveities never been so appealing
And I'm obsessed with
Ignoring the feelings
I'm about to have to start
Dealing in unfamiliar things
Consequences have never been so dire
And all the pain that living will inspire
It's got me running from all I admired
To avoid the feeling

[Bridge]
And I don't want to waste my time
Just trying to get by
And I don't want to waste my time
Just trying to get by

[Chorus 3]
Naiveities never been so appealing
And I'm obsessed with
Ignoring the feelings
I'm about to have to start
Dealing in unfamiliar things
Consequences have never been so dire
And all the pain that living will inspire
It's got me running from all I admired
To avoid the feeling

I was thinking in unfamiliar things
To a point of feeling
I was thinking in unfamiliar things
