"go ahead then! beat me to death!" lyrics

"go ahead then! beat me to death!"

I fall asleep with the light on, or I
Take a walk to the bench on west bay drive
I'm looking down at the sailboats
Some nights I wanna take a nose dive
It's fallen soldiers in the morning
You're making jokes about 9-11
You look at parties through binoculars
You hope the distance makes you strong

I'm broken down on the shoulder and you're
On your way within 15 minutes' time
I'm breaking down on your shoulder
I won't pretend that it's the first time
I'm table diving at the trash bird opera
In the gutter with a michelada
You look at me like you've seen a ghost
Man, I see 'em all the time
I'll drink vermouth from a soda cup
At the impromptu rose garden sunset with the brass band
I'll pick a fight with a stranger, no!
Ain't nobody gonna fuck with my friend

This is the year of the rat and
The year of the unevicatable encampment
We're locked down, getting black-pilled at the hospital
Watching them drill a pipeline in your vein

And I'm just there when the horror hits
When nightmare becomes reality
You looked so small, there was nothing that I could do
Let's just try to get some food in you
I'll fall asleep on your shoulder after
17 minutes of trash b-horror
I'll take the wins that I can get with my time
Like a morning spent in bed with a love of mine
We'll sit naked on the shoreline tonight
Watch the lightning off the coast
Say it out loud, "how did we all find each other
Stray dogs wandering out of broken homes?"
Imagine right now as a memory
Remembered from your future jail cell
The perfect afterglow of our blood-earned liberation
Or 1 of 50 bleaker endings
It bleeds out all my useless competition
Makes me want to talk to the people I don't know
It makes bullshittin' with my friends hit a little different
It makes the day feel kinda long
I see a house with a light on
In the thick black dark
Dim shapes through the milk of magnesia:
It's a place where I belong!
