Lyrics » Crustfall
I can no longer discern
Whether the sun is rising
Or if its setting inching closer to my own demising
Becomes so apparent what's important to me
You can say it sounds cliche
But friends all come and go away
My family’s been here to stay
They stuck with me through darker days
When I was brownin out
And fallin’ out and fuckin’ up
They stuck around to help me out
And never once gave up on me
I don’t know maybe they should’ve
Shit ya know I sure as hell would’ve
I’ll never possess the poise
It takes to deal with me
Cause I’m a thief, a drunk, a cheat, a liar
Beneath my deathbed awaits that fire
Cause I’ve wasted time
Tryin to find what’s so simple to see
That world’s a scary fucked up place
To on your own have to navigate
So to the people who compose my compass
A few words to you
CH.
Well I know times runnin out
So before ya lay my body down
Before ya dress me up
And drop me six feet down
I wanna make sure that you know
I love you and thanks for puttin up
With all my shit
We’re all just thrown into this world
Expected to exist
To carve a niche and carry on
Without slitting your wrists
But when the stress is just too much
To grasp without any support
Your mind will splinter
Verging on collapse
You're walking in a corpse
When the chips are down
It’s nice to have somebody in your corner
Just to have your back
And tell you everything will be alright
It fucking kills me that I’ve ever
Taken my loved ones for granted
It’s true what they say
You don’t know what you’ve got until it’s gone
The one thing I fear the most
Is losing anyone I care about
To only ever get to see
them smile in old photographs
The scribbles on our epitaphs
May not be set in stone
I know sometimes it’s hard for me to show it
I love you more than you will ever know it
CH.
Well I know times runnin out
So before ya lay my body down
Before ya dress me up
Commit me to the ground
Whether the sun is rising
Or if its setting inching closer to my own demising
Becomes so apparent what's important to me
You can say it sounds cliche
But friends all come and go away
My family’s been here to stay
They stuck with me through darker days
When I was brownin out
And fallin’ out and fuckin’ up
They stuck around to help me out
And never once gave up on me
I don’t know maybe they should’ve
Shit ya know I sure as hell would’ve
I’ll never possess the poise
It takes to deal with me
Cause I’m a thief, a drunk, a cheat, a liar
Beneath my deathbed awaits that fire
Cause I’ve wasted time
Tryin to find what’s so simple to see
That world’s a scary fucked up place
To on your own have to navigate
So to the people who compose my compass
A few words to you
CH.
Well I know times runnin out
So before ya lay my body down
Before ya dress me up
And drop me six feet down
I wanna make sure that you know
I love you and thanks for puttin up
