Altitude Sickness Lyrics by OK Koala

Rough Edges: The Folk Punk EP

2020

[Verse 1:]
You left the mountain at some point
And so did I, in the end
I’m very into the distance
But I can’t even pretend
That I forgot
All of the songs that you made to hide your flaws
You were never a rebel, and if I remember, you never had a cause

[Pre-Chorus:]
But in spite of that
I don’t hope you’re sad
I hope the bottom of your well is not that bad
What once was strong
Is now all but gone
But could you tell me, what the fuck is moving on?

[Chorus:]
So if you haven’t picked a bullet to take you
I hopе you grew a bigger heart that rеmains true
You were never meant to sing like the saints do
I just hope this hell on earth hasn’t maimed you
I know we never get to live how we plan to
But I hope you’re better than all your band’s tunes
Because, between me and my heart, I can’t stand you
But forgetting is not something I can do

[Verse 2:]
I’ve worked on closing the chapters
That we wrote when we were bored
And I’ve deleted your numbers
Cut those invisible cords
And now I’ve learned
All of the things that you were were never great
And I’ve tried to be silent, let time fold and die, and you might think it’s built on hate

[Pre-Chorus 2:]
But it’s not like that
I don’t hope you’re sad
I hope the bottom of your well is not that bad
What once was strong
Is now all but gone
But could you tell me, what the fuck is moving on?

[Bridge:]
I hope that the planet for you is still spinning
I hope you got over your hatred of women
And dealt with the long list of deep-seated issues
That you left the country and took along with you
I promise that all we thought mattered before
Was just boys singing marches but unfit for war
And all of the doors that we’ve been through are locked
So I’m closing this letter inside of a box

[Chorus:]
It says, "If you haven’t picked a bullet to take you
I hope you grew a bigger heart that remains true
You were never meant to sing like the saints do
I just hope this hell on earth hasn’t maimed you
I know we never get to live how we plan to
But I hope you’re better than all your band’s tunes
Because, between me and my heart, I can’t stand you
But forgetting is not something I can do, no"
