the clockworks - deaths and entrances lyrics

[verse 1]
pub onwards we crawled again
queue had skewed around the bend
and me, the last of all my friends
h+ll if we ain’t going away [?]
i’m sorry buddy not tonight
peter muttered steely+eyed
the lads are in and out of sight
concerned as always

[verse 2]
i wandered lonely as the crowd, turns a darker shade of loud
my brain picks apart and teases over all i might do wrong
while someone dressed as jesus is wailing redemption song
past the couple having dinner, both staring at their phones
past the broken+hearted cupids saying “how could i have known?”
after he said “don’t be stupid, turned houdini with the truth”
now she’s banging back the bottle of one+hundred percent proof
past the robin hood who’s handing food out to a homeless girl
says, i remember how it feels to be forgotten by the world
then looks into the camera says “poverty must stand”
checks his rolex and steps back into his new mercedes+benz
past the david foster wallace bandana in his hair
who mentions dostoevsky when he’s sure someone’s can hear
then argues with the barman on existential themes
and heads into the bathroom to google what it means
saying “i’m not shy i’m understated
the mona lisa is overrated
i stopped trying to make me perfect
because being human is complicated”
i’m sorry buddy not tonight
i’m sorry buddy not tonight

[verse 3]
and back down to earth again
having beaten myself around the bend
which meads that lead to bitter ends
i see your face less
a gravity about you, something in the eyes
one of those conversations where you don’t need to try
the game of who can tell the most honest lie
and my hopeless rumination clocks out for the night
until you say take of your mask
you reach out to find the clasp
i say i kinda watch you gasp [?]
laughing you say “goodnight”
