The Decline


The neighbours at the back fence
Said they liked to hear our games when we were kids
Until the toys turned into instruments
And they got the shits and called the cops
Ruined it for all of us and

I know
I'm selfish as they come but I don't care about anything
And I know you're not wide eyed and hopeful like you used to be
And that my friend will be the death of me
Start again
Start again

I don't know how to switch off
I was never a good sleeper as a kid
Until the day I got my first guitar
Then I will admit that I was lost
These strings can speak for all of us
And I told you so
Every scar I ever had was self inflicted
With skateboarding and alcohol

I know
I'm selfish as they come but I don't care about anything
And I know you're not wide eyed and hopeful like you used to be
That my friend will be the death of me
Start again

I know
I'm selfish as they come but I don't care about anything
And I know you're not wide eyed and hopeful like you used to be
And that my friend will be the death of me
Start again
Start again
