The Departed Lyrics by Roadkill

What to Do When The Earth Swallows You Whole

2024

[Verse 1]
Only you and me share our grandfather's eyes
But you were born in the winter, and I am a summer child
Your favorite color's green, the color of your football team
Won't tell nobody that you changed it twice
You have a permanent stain on your chest
Found its way there on a swim team test
You hate the way I leave crumbs on the bed
That we're getting too old to have to share

[Verse 2]
Matching set of pajamas and a twin size mattress
I'm getting bigger than I used to be back thеn
You were always scared of thе dark so I let you be
You got up in the morning and looked down on me
Choked my sister by the living room window
Painted the walls of my room with your liquor
You blend well with the locals but Jim Morrison's your hero
You tighten your grip on my arm and then you let me go

[Outro]
You showed me the movies
You took me to eat out
Picked me up from school
Made me laugh out loud
Blend well with the locals but your room was sacred
You got on a plane I became what i hated
