God's Heavy Wrath

lyrics

i’m breathing home through my veins
and i’m washing my clothes in its wake
and i’m drying off in the sun and
holding a hand i shouldn’t take

and girls walk down the street and die
and i spring up and stay in bed
i run away before you see
the dotted lines where you thought you saw my head

we’ve been given a great opportunity

i don’t want to take advantage of
a system made for folks with worse lives
all i am is common for a fella
who gets nervous ‘round kitchen knives

and all i wanted was to sing and drink
and be a normal freshman faggot
but the plans turned to backtracks
and backtracks turned to quiet

we’ve been given a great opportunity

things i thought just made me off
are things i’m told that are pretty common
for people of my spectrum placement
for people of my specific tension

and college towns weren’t meant for men
like college towns weren’t made for hills
i sweat out home twenty four seven
and home unfiltered really kills

we’ve been given a great opportunity

maya died today and i moved home
so we can build up some money
for finally living alone together
it’s been worth it, hasn’t it honey

and you’re the greatest stranglehold
a guy like me could ever hope for
our surroundings are so quiet you could
almost hear the singing through the door
they’re singing:

“we’ve been given a great opportunity
we've been given a great opportunity
we've been given a great opportunity
we've been given a great opportunity
you and me".
