Drift Champ ‘16

You rearranged the living room
And I didn’t know whether to sit or stand
Was I supposed to?
You’re the ringing in my ears that lasts for years
You’re the ringing in my ears
My lungs are powderkegs
Alone but in good company
A mouth full of broken teeth

Hip hip hooray to all our misery
We never talk about it
Just tiptoe walk around it
Three cheers for me, and the bitter memories
We never talked about it

Put my fists into this floor hoping it’ll open up
Breathe me into your lungs and cough me back up

Bet I don’t live in your mind
Hell I barely live in mine
Quietly content to waste another day
Load a car of cardboard boxes
They're all empty anyway
Couldn't see out the rear window
As I drove away
At least I sleep okay

Hip hip hooray to all our misery
We never talk about it
Just tiptoe walk around it
Three cheers for me, and the bitter memories
We never talked about it

There's only so much time you can bear the weight
Before stress fractures start to eat away
At the flaws in our foundations
Covered in paper mache
I had to let go anyway
I learnt to let go anyway
