hymnal ft. untitled sam Lyrics

Calendar ticking off the days to an end

Age of 24, looking backwards again

Fingertips dip in the memory pool

Reflections and refractions swirling around

Teenage emotions, never fully maturated

Shit,

Who would've guessed?

Familial behaviors passed down to me

Makes me wonder if my fate is unique to me

Pondering in grey grass underneath a grey sky

Next to my old school, with no shade nearby

Run down and ran out, handing out these hand outs

At least there's a purpose and children are the focus

That's more than I can say for all these other empty buildings

They're just memories for us, to live and die inside our minds

After granny died they turned her house into a field

I went past it last month, it just don't feel real

It's crazy how fast, a person can reduce to ash

And in what feels like a flash, they vanish from your sight

This ephemeral life, oh this ephemeral life

I'd never work myself to death for a pig in a suit

I'd rather hang myself with an amazon branded noose

Conservatives bragging about a sixty hour work week

Like yeah bro that's great when's the last time you were happy?

Suits got you stockholmed with some shares and some sick days

While your son is growing up unable to recognize his dad's face

All these long nights on the road start to catch up

You have a mid life crisis as a result of shitty choices

How much of your life was spent following their orders

"But if you work hard you'll make it," that's what you were always told

But the propaganda starts to fade, the patriotism's getting old

You reflect on what you missed all the memories in full

First crush, first dance, first day of school

And your tears begin to swell was it worth all the toll

You clutch the steering wheel trying to maintain your focus

But the disparity sets in and you lose all control

Then one flash of light as you release your soul
