lyrics

[- ...My sister and I used to play a lot of different games we made up... a lot of magic things or whatever...]

i wanna see the sun!
but these dark curtains are blocking my view
of the outside/continuous world
where people smile and thrive in that extended sun.

dead autumn, let me out

i'll try next time...
but these still legs are killing those odds,
so i'll congeal and liquefy
a thousand times again in this covered sun.

dead autumn, let me out

too tired to get out of bed.
too tired to get out of bed.
too awake to bother.

forgotten your sweet face
as these warm feathers drown me out for good:
don't matter if i emerge again...
don't matter if it never feels right...

watchful eyes, shut me in

because you're my friends,
but these balls and chains are creeping me out.
you disappear when the lights are on.
it's never fun when the ghosts are gone.

watchful eyes, shut me in

too tired to get out of bed.
too tired to get out of bed.
too awake to bother.

alright.

Spring Collection
by Jason Nazary
