Already, Always

All You Can Do

In the face of inevitable goodbye, "My Funeral" sparks a glimmer of hope amidst heartbreak, crafting a sonic canvas that captures the essence of life's melancholy.

LYRICS
My Funeral - LIAS 
_________
I went to my own funeral
And took you down with me
Emptiness inside my soul
Killed love where it should be

Brought roses to the graveyard
To say my last goodbye
But couldn’t find a word to say
Like rivers running dry

They said it was too early
They thought we still had time
But when you’re in love with an idea
Sometimes it’s hard to let it die

I picked the only flower
Bleeding from the thorn and
Far away I hear them sing
The Fallen’s lonely song

Each nail put in the coffin
Tears us further apart
Each stroke expands the distance
Of our two broken hearts

They said it was too early
They thought we still had time
But when you’re in love with an idea
Sometimes it’s hard to let it die

So take me home
And pull me closer
Just take me home
Wherever that may be
Take me home
Let’s talk it over
If this is last goodbye
It’s still so fucking hard to let us die

It’s so hard 
And I can’t just 
Let us die

Funeral of a Choir Boy

My Funeral

When We Come Back Down

Deyarmond Edison - As Long As I Can Go

Codeine is a personal story. Suffering from chronic pain, addiction to strong pain killers and the social consequences of that.

CODEINE

This song really feels like something special to me and the next step for Written Years. It’s a corrupt little 2 a.m. love song about finding yourself in this strange world. -Wade

Lyrics:

Turn the lights down now, I am all worked up
Try to shake it out, play the part
And there’s a kind, kind of quiet now
There’s a kind, kind of quiet now

‘Til we are cut in thirds on a restaurant stage
Where the ribbon girls spin and I
Am caving down, a kind of quiet now
There’s a kind, kind of

I am here, wide awake, help me into the car
I don’t want you to dance all alone in the dark
Even if it is all just a sick superficial feeling
(Superficial feeling, feeling)

I am lit, half asleep, throwing darts at the mirror
I am shaking right now like I shouldn’t be here
Even if it appears as a sick superficial feeling
(Superficial feeling, feeling)

I’ll wait a breath then take something to calm down
Bury my mistakes, spill it all
And there’s a kind, kind of quiet now
There’s a kind, kind of quiet now

So kiss me darling, I’ve been asleep too long
I can stand up right, clear my head
And it’s all a kind of quiet now
There’s a kind, kind of

I know it’s in our blood, this city will break our hearts, love
I know it’s in our blood, hit the lights and get it all out
I know it’s in our blood, this city will break our hearts, love
I know it’s in our blood

I am here, wide awake, help me into the car
I don’t want you to dance as you’re falling apart
Even if it is all just a sick superficial feeling
(Superficial feeling, feeling)

Shake it out, just shake it out,  just shake it out now

Can't tell one day from the other no
There's no setting a midsummer sun oh
And I can never recover no
Keep running, keep, keep running oh

No wait have you gotta go
Say it ain't so, say it ain't so
You know I wanted to go slow
Say it ain't so, say it ain't so
Say it ain't so

Everywhere I go
We run out of sight, we run out of mind
Everyone I know
They run out of love, they run out of line

I heard that you got a place somewhere
About a million miles away but I'm hearing myself say
Was that your face that I saw today
You're taking your time and I'm just give giving it away
I keep giving it away

Everywhere I go
We run out of sight, we run out of mind
Everyone I know
They run out of love, they run out of line

(We run out of sight, we run out of mind)
(They run out of love, they run out of line)

Everywhere I go
We run out of sight, we run out of mind
Everyone I know
They run out of love, they run out of line
They run out of love, they run out of line
They run out of love, they run out of line
