Fallout Lyrics by Telethon

Citrosis

2016

I didn’t live up to expectations
But I’m not really sure who set them
I’ll just hide behind an upturned sofa
And wait for all the fallout to disperse
If you didn’t know
Everyone surrounding you is scared
To tell you the ways you’re disappointing them

Allow me a new rendition of my prototypical self-defense
I was wrong
Aye, but here’s the rub
It was your fault
You are surprised, and aren’t we all?

I wish I could be around forever
Just to see if I could ever
Get eight full hours of sleep
Then and only then would I feel healthier
And ready to face this head on
Till then I’ll head off
Try to stop smiling

I’ll commission a new translation
And fill my heart with black
Can’t be so bright this time
Canned thunder and the eyes of a bobcat
Cover up a putrid tone of longing and solitude
I’ll watch surfers carving waves purely to spark the mood

I said I want you to leave if I’m starting to drain you
I said I want you to go if I’m pissing you off that much
We’re gonna have to forget all the things that offset you
The things that rip us apart into a thousand scattered fragments
Oh, fuck it

I wish I could be around forever
Just to see if I could ever
Get eight full hours of sleep
Then and only then would I feel healthier
And ready to face this head on
Till then I’ll head off
Try to start smiling

Why, why do I go back to where I know I’m not welcome anymore?
Why, why do I think things will work out when it’s rare they come close?
Witness the unfolding
Where optimism and pessimism fuse to become failure
A stark and unspoken of truth
