liam rogers - trading cards lyrics

Loading...

[verse 1]
inside the mirror
my father’s face and i
lock into a standstill
muddy green, life-stained eyes

a matter of moral
comp-sses and crime
what we beg for in silence is
what we reach in hindsight

suppose fear was my scripture
time, an answer from some god
faith fades into stubbornness
soon discover what you’re not

slammed doors and loud voices
i’ll clean the mess while you’re gone
reevaluate my value like
old trading cards

[chorus]
wish we could’ve left
under different circ-mstances
why do the growing pains
feel the need to hurt so bad

demons in my brain
monsters below the mattress
i’ll do all that i can do
with the effort you never had

[verse 2]
couldn’t hold a job long
and a magnet to new sorrows
old movies and liquor bottles
seemed to soothe a lost cause

bought you a superman mug
in hopes that it would solve all
the problems early on
and the violence you taught

walked out in cold handcuffs
didn’t stay inside them
blurred the lines for many years
memories and battle scars

i no longer cry for
those simply incapable
i tend to tattered, worn boxes like
old trading cards

[chorus]
wish we could’ve left
under different circ-mstances
why do the growing pains
feel the need to hurt so bad

demons in my brain
monsters below the mattress
i’ll do all that i can do
with the effort you never had

[verse 3]
your reflection still remains
while i’m the one who must refrain
nightmares are necessary to
provoke better dreams in the dark

thank you for being what
you knew how to be
because now i just write it out
upon lines and cell phone screens

too short a life to be angry
too young to hold such a grudge
and my mother’s been smiling lately
so i see that i am loved

i know of hope and how
anxiety stings the heart
bless faces aged with time now
like the tops of old trading cards

[outro]
get better, be better, do better
get better, be better, do better
trying my best, i’m trying
when i’m the only one of us to care

get better, be better, do better
get better, be better, do better
isn’t it ironic
that your absence kept me all there
