about

the protagonist in this song is wrestling with the unfairness that they still can be hurt by someone they cut out of their life. sometimes a person's absence can be even more harmful than their presence.

lyrics

there’s an assortment of remedies
scattered on my bed
pills and journals and fleshlights
trinkets to busy my hands
i’ll cycle through vices virulently
vie to strike a vein
bleed the pangs of missing you
let the clog move from me to drain

left my ticket on the train i travelled in last year
one way anyways it’s inconsequential now that i’m here
had i known it’s all the same, you hurt me even you’re gone
i’d refrain from alacritous measures sawing you off

here i am, like the moon,
fleeting moments when i’m full
there’s no preservation potent enough
you have to see it through
if i’m bright in the moment
i won’t slip into the dark
so how do you fog my pretense
in the wake of all this time apart

left my ticket on the train i travelled in last year
one way anyways it’s inconsequential now that i’m here
had i known it’s all the same, you hurt me even you’re gone
i’d refrain from alacritous measures sawing you off
