Invalids
Exit 18
Then we said, all cravings fed
Affixed with all we'd coveted
We slept for several days and only dreamt of our own bed
“It takes some time to clear your head.”

Are you aware it's a false chore
What we're pretending for, for it's strange
To question whatever we're meant for
What we're defending for for a change?
Wait...

Never stopped anticipating what's coming after everything
That would normally go wrong just doesn't go
(still the surface sits above)
Wrong. It's just I've wondered after our every goal was met
What's it like when there is nothing left?
(will it work until it's done?)

Fate we asked for nothing, gave us nothing
Fate we gave all we could

Waste, you said, too late, you said
There was nothing we could do, you said
Your one regret was knowing it

Weights you're beneath will lift away
But what if you've no weights?
What are we beneath?
Wait...
Hey wait
We're almost there
They're almost here

Never gonna get used to the volume of the echoes
How the halls can seem so crowded now with nobody else inside
(we're almost back, we're almost through)
Though we still don't recognize
Though we tell each other otherwise
In the end there is so often permanence in our goodbyes
(we're almost through, come back through)

I packed everything and put it in different rooms
Put a blanket over the corners so you won't scrape it when you move
I guess that'll do
Oh and one other thing, feel free to take anything
(I'll see you soon)
All I ask is if you do, just put it to good use
(I'll think of you)

Now how we wanted to get out
Without turning around to retrace
Clever enough we won't get stuck
But we've got dumber luck
So we wait...
