Deer Lyrics
Half a year and here you are again
I'd go out in public if nobody ever asked
I sit home and drink alone and hope that bottle speaks,
like you, like us, like me
Half a year again, now it's a whole
February stationery from you on the wall
And I sit home and plead the throne to speak to speak to me
to me, to me, hasn't said a single thing
You're probably too busy with your work
Or am I just excusing you for leaving me alone?
There's nothing in these wooden drawers to bring you back, or to keep me bored
I don't know what to do with me no more
Dear Everyone I Ever Really Knew, I acted like an asshole so I could keep my edge on you
Ended up abusing even those I thought immune
I killed the kingdom with one move and now it's time to move
Dear Everybody That Has Paid to See My Band, it's still confusing, we'll never understand
I acted like an asshole so my albums would never burn
But I'm hungry now, and the scraps are dirty dirt
I'm hungry now, it's in the scraps of dirty dirt
I'd go out in public if nobody ever asked
I sit home and drink alone and hope that bottle speaks,
like you, like us, like me
February stationery from you on the wall
And I sit home and plead the throne to speak to speak to me
to me, to me, hasn't said a single thing
Or am I just excusing you for leaving me alone?
There's nothing in these wooden drawers to bring you back, or to keep me bored
I don't know what to do with me no more
Ended up abusing even those I thought immune
I killed the kingdom with one move and now it's time to move
I acted like an asshole so my albums would never burn
But I'm hungry now, and the scraps are dirty dirt
I'm hungry now, it's in the scraps of dirty dirt

I dont think Ive ever heard lyrics that better describe so many things in 4 lines. From being an independent person, living for yourself, defensive mechanisms, or that transitional period in your life where you lose all your old friends and have to start again. I love this.
Only my second post on this site, but you completely nailed it. Phenomenal verse.

That last line makes me tear up every time. I want it back the way it was before I left it in ruin. Amazing.
