SIGNALS MIDWEST LYRICS

"Lowercase"

Drink all you want, cause the failures are sobering. I’m closing my tab and I’m headed home. Sinking in sounds that I always found such a comfort in, and you’d quote entire songs back to me. I’m getting sick of this cyclical narrative, self-deprecating and written in lowercase. Treading the ground and making the sounds that you’ve learned to make. But your voice, it was quiet and cold. And I know what’s keeping you company. I hope it does more for you than it’s done for me. No sense silently suffering. Let it permeate. Let it under your skin so you can feel everything. Strip back the layers and find a new song to sing. Soon you’ll be gone and I’ll settle in to stay. You always had a penchant for pushing me away. So while you’re talking of taking the next flight out, I’ll be the one you’re forgetting about. Now it’s time to start again. Drunken conversations. Rapid-fire breathing. Left-out parts of speech and friends all “left and leaving”. I sit here and watch it all unfold before me. Social crutches and a distinct pattern forming. Used to want to have this older kind of fun but now we meet here to convince ourselves we’re young. And I am just as much a part of it as anyone. One might say we’re starting, more might say we’re done for.
