lyrics

Indulging old clichés of absence
Inevitable given the distance
The pace of your departure
The things we didn't say

In the cold, bright, immediate months since
Memories taking up residence
In listed spots across the town
Landmarks my mind can't tear down

Have to face the change, constant and mundane
Smother questions left unanswered give up fighting yourself
there's nothing to gain from this, it doesn't help
wasted thoughts, old clichés, mental ping-pong each day
all that remains here since you went

Still stuck on old clichés of absence
More masochistic nonsense
I summon the strength to feel something
now the train's pulled out of the station
now the situation's beyond me
I can lament the hesitation

Have to face the change, limited and strange
Sick of all the blame fixed upon your name

Muddle through
Make new plans
No more scripting altered endings for the past
Leave a house in my head
where you'll stay with all my other missing friends
Old clichés will remain
The ever earnest truth, it sounds so lame
Muddle through
Making new plans
Embrace the possibilities we can.
