18 Months Later Lyrics by Laurie Supple

Carefully Selected Works of a Coward: 2018-2021

2022

[VERSE 1]
I say “when I’m better” like it’s a sickness that kills
Connecting the dots to my pillowcase
I can’t say your name because in a year it will change
And I can’t stand to hear it anyways
We’ve come a long way from the forums and honesty
The men in black and blue jumpsuits now reign
I won’t ask what my country will do for me
But I wonder where they are some days
[REFRAIN]
Where did it all go wrong?
Why did it start with me
18 months later
[VERSE 2]
Before I show you this amateur display
Before I get sued by Boys Don’t Cry
Can you tell mе when I can speak again
With a rendition of 9 to 5
Whеn the lights go down and the kids are just kids
Your words are empty your dreams are uninformed
And you show and tell surveillance of yourself
But you lie about the year you were born
[REFRAIN]
You lie about your dreams
You lied about me
18 months later
[VERSE 3]
The choice to mellow out cost a reasonable amount
No contract to stick to the scene
Is it a consequence of the means in which I’m fenced?
Or did I just turn 16?
No matter what’s behind me, the content is all the same
And I wonder why I feel so far away
3 holes in a wall, to clear up space for all
The characters that don’t share my name
[REFRAIN]
So I’ll keep writing songs
Just don’t listen to me
18 months later
[VERSE 4]
Are you really what the 1's and 0's say you are?
Or are you just keen to compensate?
You deserve a standing O if you have cracked the code
But I’ve seen how you communicate
The moon will show its face even if the sun is gone
There is no life without the dead
Even capital crime can be resolved with time
And I’ll still have words unsaid
[REFRAIN]
Did it pass me by?
All before 18
18 months la-
[TRANSITION]
I still have words unsaid
9 verses to be exact
With the rules I’ve set
For myself
So why not pull some old ones off the shelf
With my eyes on my shoulder blades
I’ll walk while the thought cascades
I’ll be good as new and begging you to shake my hand
I can’t tell you what happened
If I could you’d have already known
Oh how I’ve grown so much, so much so that I can’t stand
I’ll never stand
Will they like this one?
Will this check all the boxes?
When did I become so selfless?
I don’t think I like it
X4
Where'd it all go wrong?
I said I wrote a song about you and that it was my best
But it couldn’t even make the tracklist
Now I gotta say goodbye to these songs
And start all over with a new set of laws
But I don’t want to work that long
I didn't think it would take this long
I didn't think I would carry on
X4
