Origin Story

by Strange Chan

/

lyrics

I don't know about you
but these last few
Times around the sun
Have made me sick
There’s a panic going ‘round
All this talk of apocalypse
Got me down

Last time I saw you
You blew me a kiss
And waved goodbye
For one last time
We wasted so much time
I’m losing track of mine

The world is in fragments
Refracted like cracks in a mirror
Reflect my sense of self
I wish that I could help
But the distance feels like hell

Everyone’s lookin
For an origin story
The things we tell ourselves
Just to keep going
But some of us are losing the plot
And it’s showing
According to the wise
The way things are going
The skies will open up
And swallow your last breath

I fuck myself
When no one else will
It keeps me safe
From the grey place
Where demons cry
And no one asks why
We share the same space

I keep my heart
Close to my chest
It cuts off years
Of my life span
Loneliness
Stresses my head
Makes me insane man

Everyone’s lookin
For an origin story
The things we tell ourselves
Just to keep going
Soon enough we’re all gonna reap
What we’re sowing
According to the wise
The way things are going
The skies will open up
And swallow your last breath

I’m dying for your touch
Just like I was
Before this all began
Before the sky became obscured
Scattered pictures of the way we were
