Inverness Lyrics by Soft Kill

Dead Kids, R.I.P. City

2020

What's in a name?
Familiar sores exposed
Spread open again
But what do we gain?
I stood outside their home
And off the top I dove
Caught by the hands of god
And placed back in the sky

The traveling boy who kept me well for two days
I slept with on the floor of a house on Interstate
He preferred to sleep up top, under that same sky
Nodded off the roof, four stories high

He never walked again and I wonder why
He never walked again didn’t bother to try
He never walked again and here I wondered why
Felt like the time of our lives

To those I loved who drowned
Consumed by their escape
The water filled their pores
And they sunk to the floor
We drifted on the lake
The cold will crack your bones
In dirt we dug a tomb
That tomb we made our home

The shyest boy I knew
We filled our world with hurt
The calm of the morning set, the days they were berserk
Can't trust where you cop they don't care if we die
He nodded off again and all I did was cry

He never walked again and I wonder why
He never walked again didn’t bother to try
He never walked again and here I wondered why
Felt like the time of our lives

He never walked again and I wonder why
He never walked again didn't bother to try
He never walked again and here I wondered why
Had no hold of our lives
