about

damn really got me with that one huh! what a fun turn of events

lyrics

bottles and bubbles and cigarette trays
remainders of nuclear growth and decay
sirens they won’t call you home anymore
but that doesn’t mean i’m closing the door

i will start scratching your name off the gate
when you tell me you’re not coming home
take apart all that i built in a day
cover me in ashes i am your pompéi

the keychain it lies on the floor of your room
tear me to pieces, i’ll piece them together
for 30 days i have been looking for you
now you’re found im lost again lost instead

i will stop fixing the holes in the gate
now i know you’re not coming home
i hope it’s enough and i hope its not too late
smother me in silence i am your pompéi

board up the door to a strangers room
nothing smells like your perfume
too many notebooks and not enough authors
confessions of outlaws and prodigal daughters

i will be painting the sky with your name
the stars will guide you home
breathe in the night sky and carve a new canyon
this world was made for you

ask anyone they’ll say rome wasn’t built in a day
gardens take root in the ashes i am your pompéi

Well, it's not 60's rock and roll that's for sure. Worth a listen anyways? Probably!
