Lonely Squid Lyrics by Northbound

The Flaws In Everything

2017

Gossip is for children
And gospel is for saints
So where does that leave me?


The one who always runs away

Something isn't right
Deep inside my brain
'Cause you bask in the light
But I'm stuck in the pain

Such a lonely squid
Always spitting ink
Behind the barricade is where your heart was hid
You didn't want me back until you burried it
So I live underground until you let me in

And we melt
And we melt
And we melt

So while swimming here
A rough current hit
But then your arms got tired
And you let me sink
What a crooked way through my crooked teeth
Love your cigarette, it keeps burning me
And I melt

And it's strange how it goes
From your head down to your toes
You watched a poor boy overdose
On being hurt and bravado

I'm not changing
Our time's just wasted
I'll never fake it
But all I know is you were better off before me
