letra de demerits - seaholm

your older brother went off to see
a slightly larger version of a world where he knew everything;
sent postcards from a semester abroad
to remind you what you missed out on

i woke up with a headache
and eight missed calls
why do i do this to myself?
i just need a solid eight or something
like a break in the cycle
i guess the way it’s been going lately started catching up

and that’s worse than bringing shame on your family
or the sickly shade of pale in the mirror
first thing in the morning
i guess we all need reminders
when we’re getting by
because that’s something to aspire to

so lay it to rest, i suppose
lay it to rest, i suppose

and so you asked
if i was doing alright
we shot the sh-t and got high
in your car, parked next to the high school
we graduated with reckless abandon
now we’re skipping out on our
five-year reunion
’cause i was never one for keeping up appearances
i could never keep up anyway
then i saw the cherry reflect in your iris
a song came on the radio
you started singing:
“everything’s gonna be alright
everything’s gonna be alright
everything’s gonna be alright”
just like you told me it would

you called me out on my bluff
when i couldn’t keep my cards close to my chest
couldn’t keep a straight face when
you dumped my boxes at the foot of my driveway
a 52 degree morning
october 2014

you won’t kiss me when i smell like smoke
but there’s ash in the seams of the sweatshirt
you borrowed before
and you won’t kiss me when i smell like smoke
and if you can’t live without me
then i would wear black to your wedding

you won’t kiss me when i smell like smoke

you won’t kiss me when i smell like smoke
so i’ll lay it to rest, i suppose
