“I guess I've gotten to a point in my life where I realize I may have spent more time protecting the things I love than actually loving them. When you get hold of something important or valuable, it's easier to encase it in plastic and put it up on a high shelf than it is to accept the fact that things break, rust, and fade in the sun. We build these museums of purposeless artifacts, coated in lacquer and preserved in jars, and despite it all they still lose their meaning anyways. In the end, I guess I just hope I don't mind the inevitability and impermanence of it all. I really miss the grain of the wood without the varnish; the honest vividness of life with all the nicks and scratches and knots and splinters.” - OP

-LYRICS- 

with a meantime, meanwhile, clear-cut conscience
let the paraffin prop me up
take a couple more swings, hope I get it all wrong
‘cause permanent never seems permanent enough

I wash from beige to blue
I was never that lost, just afraid to lose
lacquer my luck so pale to prove
this heart don’t break the way it used to

give me that strong stuff
who says anything lasts that long?
like a secondhand head rush
I miss that saw-cut way that it was
with everything honest
that kerosene shine, that acetone touch
and I don’t mind my colours might run
I’ve had enough half-strength second-guess love

none of it ever feels permanent enough

I’m a paradise plastic slight spitting image
but everything lasts just as long as it did
in a year spent white-knuckle waiting at the finish
I finally understand, just another couple minutes

you can watch me wash from beige to blue
I was never that lost, just afraid to lose
lacquer my luck so pale to prove
this heart don’t break the way it used to

give me that strong stuff
who says anything lasts that long?
like a secondhand head rush
I miss that saw-cut way that it was
with everything honest
that kerosene shine, that acetone touch
and I don’t mind my colours might run
I’ve had enough half-strength second-guess love

I don’t care I’m coming undone
who says anything ever lasts that long?
I don’t mind my colours might run
I’ve had enough half-strength second guess love
I don’t care I’m coming undone
who says anything ever lasts that long?
I don’t mind
I don’t mind
