lyrics

here’s to hoping that my good intentions will swallow me whole
dissolve down through water
raise me up and let me learn how to float
belly up to the moon
take solace in knowing i can sink if i need to
with any luck i’ll evaporate soon
and complete the cycle i’ve been going through

i hope that all those i’ve hurt
can some day know me as salt of the earth
i just wish that doing what’s best felt any better than this
i just wish that doing what’s best felt any better than this

i just wish that doing what’s best felt any better than this
because this feels like dogshit
