Retreat

from En Garde by Riposte

lyrics

Randall:
Was I worth the save? The life i’ve wasted, loved ones I couldn’t face.
“Where were you from” Where were you at” “Did it hurt?” “We’re so glad you’re back”

I’m fucking tired: Climbing out of bed, of out this bottle, climbing out of debt. Climbing out this pile of shit I fell in. Been on an incline since the fucking hospital bed. I’m tired of being on the mend.

So, let me go; I’ll steal my dad’s Astro and pawn everything that isn’t nailed down. I’ll shut everyone out ( pretend to have the strength to do it right this time)

But I’m sweating in the pre-dawn, every cough a shotgun blast. Every gasp. Rattles the ribcage. A New Day: add up all your good-boy points and come up short. Another day of wondering what the fuck all this is for.

Shawn:
dried blood binds my arms to these sheets. another day and i find no peace amidst the whir of these machines. who's going to pay for this? my body is already paid in full. they said they could save me. i thought i was saving myself from another day, another lie, and from the rest of this lifetime pretending all this was fine
