Collapsed Lungs

about

This song defines some of the aspects of life that make it cheap and utterly detestable at times. It's about losing the endurance to create anecdotes and force smiles. Society has developed into something that devalues human life from the moment of birth. Many of our lives are pointless and wasteful. This is an admission that life isn't worth the cheap, pointless, dishonest shit we have to endure to find rare moments of happiness. The ending of this song kind of talks about how everything has been done before to some degree and how this renders our creations to be unoriginal and/or invalid. Bypassing recycled ideas often results in pretentious or just plain bad movies/books/music/etc...

lyrics

I’m out of breath, I said what’s been said
But you fucking want to hear it
These days are long as our lives are cheap
As our words are cheap
Light as a feather
Heavier than grief

Dead words pouring like lies
Like these wasted nights
These fucking faces stripped bare
The skin pulled from their masks

Time after time abused and dismissed
The sympathy act can be hard to resist
Crippled defeated hearts reaching out
Bleeding them dry, outracing the doubt

Lost words
Are better lost
Desperate friends
At cheaper cost
None of this will fill the void

These lines have been said a thousand times
By those who have felt so much more than mine
By buried fools, romantics, and worthless cheats
Who all felt that terrible disease

Who’ve burned their letters and bridges, erased their youth
And made these days and invalid and untrue
Who abandoned their joy for grave marked pursuits
Who were cleansed in fear and would bear all they would lose
