‘'Suicide Pact’‘ is about riding along in the car and eventually crashing it and dying. Thematically it is similar to “Best Man” off Trophy Eyes’ first full-length Mend, Move On, where the singer is in a car with his friend and says that he is “tired of waking up,” prompting the driver of the car to...
[Verse 1]
I watch the lights blur into one
And sound like a passing train
With my head outside the car
In the back seat
I threw a bottle from the window
Just to watch it break
It bounced and retained its shape
Would my body do the same?
Please just drive this car into a wall
Anything to break the silence
We could die on impact
Or we could just drive straight through
[Verse 2]
Pick your bones up off the street
Take the car back before someone knows it's missing
Burn it out on the side of the road
We know that's what you're good at
Make your annual escape from home
Before they know what hit them
[Chorus]
Walk on your friends to fly
We've run out of reasons for watching you die
Walk on your friends to fly
We've run out of reasons for watching you die
[Verse 3]
We were just children
When I held your hand
I promised if you go then I go the same
What a stupid way to see
If your friends can keep their promises
Aren't you getting tired of hospital beds?
[Pre-Chorus]
I know the feeling man
You can't count the fuck ups on two hands
I know the feeling man
You can't count the fuck ups on two hands
I know the feeling man
You can't count the fuck ups on two hands
I know the feeling man
You can't count the fuck ups on two hands
[Chorus]
Walk on your friends to fly
We've run out of reasons for watching you die
Walk on your friends to fly
We've run out of reasons for watching you die
[Post-Chorus]
Like running water
What are you running from?
Like running water
What are you running from?
[Outro]
What a stupid way to see
If your friends can keep their promises
What a stupid way to see
If your friends can keep their promises
(Aren't you tired of hospital beds?)
What a stupid way to see
If your friends can keep their promises
What a stupid way to see
If your friends can keep their promises
(Aren't you tired of hospital beds?)
What a stupid way to see
If your friends can keep their promises
What a stupid way to see
If your friends can keep their promises
(Aren't you tired of hospital beds?)
What a stupid way to see
If your friends can keep their promises
What a stupid way to see
If your friends can keep their promises
(Aren't you tired of hospital beds?)
What a stupid way to see
If your friends can keep their promises
What a stupid way to see
If your friends can keep their promises
(Aren't you tired of hospital beds?)
What a stupid way to see
If your friends can keep their promises
What a stupid way to see
If your friends can keep their promises
(Aren't you tired of hospital beds?)

“‘Suicide Pact’ is about another friend of mine. When I was a kid, we got in a lot of trouble all the time, doing stupid shit. So I found myself in that scenario more than a normal person would. (Laughs) There was a few incidences...
