From the recording Sophomore Slump
Lyrics
Sitting in despair
Wrapping paper everywhere
Lying on the floor waiting for things to change
Out of body, feeling strange
Ringing in my head
All these sweat and tears I’ve bled
Every year gets blown away with just one breath
And what have I got left?
So I’ll let the candles burn up my kitchen
And hope for it to rain
The house falls apart and I waste away
I’m throwing up remains of my birthday cake
Untie my balloons
They float away and I’m fireproof
I see you in every flame as they burn my roof
Nothing more
Nothing more
Nothing more to prove
So I’ll let the candles burn up my kitchen
And hope for it to rain
The house falls apart and I waste away
I’m throwing up remains of my birthday cake
How was I so hopeful just a year ago
Spending all my time on someone I didn’t even know
The seat is empty, invitation’s sealed, but you won’t show
I’ll blow out each candle alone
And everybody’s gone except me and your ghost
