debt. - you'll never make it to kal ripken lyrics

[verse 1]
i started my college experience
with the idea that i was going to do everything
everything for myself and nothing less
i thought merit was gold
but that still doesn’t explain why i had panic attacks in my shower
late second semester feeling sorry for myself
because i couldn’t stand up to get clean
that doesn’t explain the panic in my fathers face
when he saw his pile of a son
sprawled in anguish on the bathroom tile
that doesn’t explain the weeks i had to spend
shower+less, in bed, torn open and bruised, alone
and as i sit in the living room of my childhood home the walls scream out a nine+week chant
failure

[chorus]
flowers bloom in my lungs
shivering sharp scarce breath
shallow chest
flowers bloom in my lungs
shivering sharp scarce breath
shallow chest
white knuckled and tasting death

[verse 2]
the last people to stay in this room died in hospital beds like the one that i’m in
i remember faces, i remember places
i remember gnarled smiles, curled fingers pointing
the smell of sweat and copper hung thick in the air
[outro]
and maybe, maybe i’ll die in august
they don’t call ’em dog days for nothing
