Beyond The End/Odyssey Lyrics

No thoughts except that it's cruel

It's beautiful and it's true

Bleeding feels good

I'm alive, I am cool

Forget all the smiles you've tried

No sun in the sky, no light behind your eyes

But there's green

There's a god in me

Behind the glass that I can break

And I can hurt the face but not the

Memories, experience

Motherfuckers, gentlemen

2010's

I loved you all beyond the end

I just love it all beyond the end

Lightning, red

It's not dead

It's sleeping in a tower

Waiting for true love's kiss

It is sleeping in a flower

Stronger by the hour

It's called medicine

I just love it all beyond the end

Lightning, red

I'm not dead

Don't let me forget

That I love it all beyond the end

Don't let me forget

I can hurt the face, but not the

I can hurt the face, but not the

Resemblance, resilience

Me

You just woke up on yesterday's clothes

You don't brush your teeth

You have lunch standing in the kitchen and it kinda tastes like shit

You don't care enough to cook something better

You just have to keep yourself standing for the rest of the day

You don't care enough to tell yourself you're gonna quit

Instead you just tell yourself that you like it

So punk rock, you're never gonna stop

You're gonna study music and become a rock slash popstar

If not, you'll die

Then you'll move back and she'll buy the house across the street

(That house is taken now)

You'll build a studio and grow a maze/garden

You'll never be whole but you'll be happy

(I had a garden I couldn't get lost in but I had to leave anyway)

You'll adopt some kids and have a flat in London together

Sometimes you're married, sometimes you're not

But if you can't hold on 'till then

Or she thinks she's pregnant again

You'll tell your moms to fuck off

You'll flee the country in the back of truck

Full of drugs, obviously

You'll grow weed in endless fields

High all the time, still better parents than ours

Sounds peaceful but it wouldn't be enough

I'd still try to please the crowds anyway, I couldn't keep your love

I'd never tie you down the way you tried to do with me

I'm still looking too close to see anything

But we couldn't be farther apart, could we?

Honestly these days I think I would risk everything

But you were never coming with me

I'm sorry, I took your shoes

You're taking the bus downtown now

That's the moment you most fantasize about the crowds

The good songs are yours, but you'd change some lines

These people see you everyday and often stare out of the corner of their eyes

Sometimes you get anxious and think that they hate you, you're probably right

'Cause fuck this city

Then you remember you're still the hippest thing and you'll never gonna quit

You're late but you might skip class

Sit on the steps and try to forget everything you know

Because you're young but too smart for your own good

You know it's all wrong

You learn some new things and they break you

But you know they're also wrong

You do your make up

Share a joint with some strangers you study with

That you're studying lately, that you're sleeping on

No one's skipping class today

You'll just study high, I guess

You hope the teacher won't notice you just had a cigarette by the school gates

But you all smell like grass, you act like you're mostly dead

And your eyes shine red like the traffic light outside

She knows it's a bad sign, but the State made her too tired to care

You answer all the questions and they're at least mostly right

But you're still bad at math so you'll never make it in real life

You write and you write and her and the lines

Are the only things keeping you alive

She's not a goddess, untouchable and flawless but she's your friend

Or so you thought

And you two never notice just how precious that is

Until it's too late and when you talk your voices are no longer soft

I think you fantasize about some people but I don't remember much

All you wrote were reflections in the water

Where they'd admire themselves and each other

But none of that is true, the ones that held power over you were always so pathetic

And you see that now like you'll see it in a couple years when you look back

I talk like you're someone else to force myself to be empathetic

And after class

You're a little green fairy, you're dropping the cap

You fall through the rim and find yourself trapped

You reach the bottom of a bottle and the deep end again

The little truth you still hold shines through the glass

Suddenly you're a darling starlet and you love your friends

Except they're capping the bottle behind your back

The ones you worship get a glimpse of the god you could be

If you weren't tied down and dying in this city

You hold your liquor cause you're good at having a problem

No one I know has the guts to say alcoholic

You often fall and get hurt and you rarely throw up

But you always crawl back to the bus stop alone

You'd stumble out of the bus, walk home slow and have too much for dinner

You'd sit next to your mom and try to act sober but you're miles away

You did that, and every time you two meet you don't regret it

"At least I'm mostly free", you say

Right now, her arms are chains around me

But this isn't about me

So you go to your room and try to surround yourself with other voices

So you drown out the sound of the waves in your head

Some things you can talk about now but most you still can't

The more you hear people you respect, the more you let out

The more your own voice makes sense
