Life Ahead

Why did you leave? You weren't here
Blood on my teeth, sand in my hair
Don't know how much more, how much more I can take
I'm on my way home, but I don't want to be
Staring down the barrel of the gun
Another year like a bullet, shot me in the face
Standing at the altar of expectation
Life ahead is scary, we don't know where we're going

At the dinner table, you're the best dressed
You can get away with murder with a face like yours
Go ahead with that smile for your mother
Like there's nothing wrong
Go ahead with that smile for your mother
Like there's nothing wrong
At the dinner table, you're the best dressed
You can get away with murder with a face like yours
Go ahead with that smile for your mother
Like there's nothing wrong
Go ahead with a smile for your mother
Like there's nothing wrong

How to tell them I don't feel amazing
How to tell them I'm still fucked up
Drink myself silly, hope they can't see me?
Hope my laugh loud enough to hide the smell?
I've been selling, I've been selling sunset
All I've ever known is torrential rain
Camel Blues in the back garden, tip-toeing when she's gone to bed
Chains smoking, trying to calm the motions
I know that she knows it's me out there
Daddy issues put me in a bad position
In my head, I'm a mirror of the man
Broken down into so many pieces, everyone around me always leaving
I will never show you my true feelings
I will never show you my true feelings
I don't know how

At the dinner table, you're the best dressed
You can get away with murder with a face like yours
Go ahead with that smile for your mother
Like there's nothing wrong
Go ahead, wear that smile for your mother
Life does nothing wrong
At the dinner table, you're the best dressed
You can get away with murder with a face like yours
Go ahead, wear that smile for your mother
Life does nothing wrong
Go ahead, wear that smile for your mother
Life does nothing wrong
At the dinner table, you're the best dressed
You can get away with murder with a face like yours
Go ahead with a smile for your mother
Like there's nothing wrong
Go ahead with a smile for your mother
Like there's nothing wrong
