Lyrics to High Dirge

Wet my face in the bathroom

Try and shave off the "he"

That you speak unto "me" if I have to

I can shriek at a pitch more dissonant

Sometimes I have to



Like when I left your apartment

In my shorts and knee high socks

Wet faced, red eyed, and hair tied

Riled up as a beehive



It's a long life, I can't get it right



You can't be whole

When you look inside you'll find more of your problems

And I need you around

Like the ground needs a figure just to be something at all



It's a long life, I can't get it right

It's a long life, I can't get it right

It's a long life, I can't get it right

It's a long life, I can't get it right



It's a long life, it will waste you in return

It's a long life, it will waste you in return

It's a long life, it will waste you in return

It's a long life, it will waste you in return



I like your house

Trees bend and tire swing in your backyard

Your mom went out

To smoke and I could tell that you're worried about her



It's a long life, it's hard to get it right



I dirge for each "I don't have the time for you"

And I dirge for the way that I am going by

And I dirge for each 2 o' clock just waking up

Oh long life, how is it that you go by
