Sold Out
about
this is a song that was very embarrassing for a long time (and maybe still is) but it's nice to think that it might be the only song that has a happy ending but also ends with the word "die"
lyrics
it woke up the devil when we started sleeping on our backs
revolving slowly from our sides
it's not a lack of fondness, it's the departure of pride
i didn't think my absence could be anything but a blessing in disguise
but sometimes the poison that ends someone's life
is in the water on which he relies
so you can try to make the most of it with reverse osmosis
or you can throw all your water away
but when the sun and the moon trade their places,
you may realize you've made a mistake
and a regret is the worst thing to have
but it's an even worse thing to be
it's a sick existence when someone who is being brave
can be wrong simultaneously
but now you've made your bed, you'll have to lie in it
and try to make it through the night
or you can sleep a little longer
if the sheets make you contrite
or you can use the seeds you've planted
to get that feeling you've taken for granted back in your life again
despite misery's persistence,
somewhere in the distance, you'll feel afraid to die
