The Point II

from Empty Ship by Apres Pompeii

lyrics

“See that frost there on the window? That’s me getting cold. See that dust there on the door, babe? That’s me getting old. When you’re driving down the highway, that’s me running away. And when an exit screams your name, babe, that’s me doing the same. I’m a new age contradiction, cause I’m living in the past. I’m asking for forgiveness, by sinning with a laugh. I drink my weight in poison, so damn thirsty since the fall. I’m living on my own, mama, so you know I cannot call. I’m a new age contradiction, cause I’m living in the past. I’m asking for forgiveness, by sinning with a laugh. I still carry that cross upon me, it’s cutting marks deep in my neck. All your memories and fondness for me, is washed up in the black. The tides change in the river and every night I’m underneath. When I wake up I am thinner, the river’s washing me away.” I’m a new age contradiction because I’m living in the past. I’m not asking for forgiveness, father, I’m sinning with a laugh. I still carry that cross upon me, it’s cutting lines deep in my neck. All your memories and fondness for me will be washed up in the past.
