scarves - caesar lyrics

they’re paying me
thirteen an hour
to peel the stickers off
the bathroom stall walls
and i’m grateful for the work
but i can’t tell if they look better or worse
than when i started
beauty can be frustrating
all the effort
it takes to maintain it
i will build an effigy
to all the things
that i used to believe
so ideas look their best
when they are burning
i didn’t cope
with winter well
and now i’m living
in my mother’s bas+m+nt
again
i found this old photograph
where i’m dressed up as caesar
and it’s my first halloween
for a second i was the center of the universe
but i’ve been spiraling out
ever since
i guess they should have just
dressed me up as an astronaut
instead
i will write a eulogy
for all the things
that i could have been
maybe it’s for the best
those dreams are dead
cuz i would have been
a terrible president
and maybe an even worse
anarchist
though the walls are closing in
the windows are too
and though the blinds are shut to tight
for the light to get through
our eyes will adjust to the darkness
and what surrounds us
will come into full view
when it does i glad that movement
wasn’t monsters, but was you
so let’s sing out the only hymn
that still means anything
we are broken
but we are healing
