Our Visit

from Sweet Nothings by Bomethius

/

lyrics

Our visit was cut short
By the visions that plagued my view

And the wine had soured over what I saw in you
And what I saw in me

Could I have really ever
Done all that much better?
Or was God just looking out for me?

Does being a singer mean
I can’t have a family?
Or that they just can’t stand you?

Are you still young enough
To believe in ambition?
You asked me

Were you ever young enough
To believe in basic responsibility?
I ask you now

Nothing is as I remembered
But I suppose it’s stayed the same

But brother I’ll say it
When with the stories I compared it
The stories seemed grotesquely
Tame

Do as we please
Please as we do
Just don’t compare me to you

Do as we please
Please as we do
Just don’t compare me to you
