good question (st. louis) - no answer we could've bought lyrics

[verse]
skinned is the ground thats been rained on
flooded is the bas+m+nt below
oh brother, when’s this downpour gonna stay gone?
i dunno, i dunno, i dunno

well i could slosh through the yard like a soldier
and i could march with the treason i’ve done
betrayed the words i should’ve told her
and the ashes i stole from her tongue

now the snake’s slithered down to his burrow
and he eats all the h+lls the sky wrought
now we lament what we never inferred, though
there was no answer we could’ve bought

listen when i say, you’ve got to want more than this
(listen when i say, there’s more to living than this)
play by all the rules, til’ you’ve faked your last kiss
(it might not feel as perfect, but at least you’d have someone to miss)
oh, forgive me, all i’ve got is my best
(oh, forgive me, for all the rot in your heart)
i can give you all my waking, but i can’t give you the rest
(i promise it’ll heal itself, with some time apart)

[bridge]
darling go out into the night
while your vision’s still young
while your heart is alight
i know that you’re feeling empty inside
when it’s nine o’clock
and you’re on overdrive
busted up, bogged down, split at the seams
chewing on yourself
riding out fever dreams
beside yourself for so long, forgot what it means
to drift along the river
to flow with the breeze
it was always so much simpler than we thought
now we’re choking down the answers we never bought
[solo]

[outro]
i’ve filled every page in my spirit
so i started tearing them out
and i know that you’d like to hear it
but not what i wrote about

well the wind made them fly away like the birds
but i know that you could fly faster
and maybe you’d want to catch all those words
but that’s not what you should be after
