The Past Six Years Lyrics
These days my friends aren't who they used to be
We were all sinners and drunks but now they're too mature for me
Because Mike's on daytime radio and Jon played Reading and Leeds
But i'm still playing The Purple Turtle on new years eve
We are sick and we are tired
We're all fools and worthless liars
Young and unemployable
lonely, drunk and beautiful
we are sick and we're so tired.
So tired.
Through these cynical, old, bitter eyes, The future's hard to see
These songs do not mean half as much as they should do to me
Because I made plans of being more than just that band who had that song about friends and not much else
We are sick and we are tired
We're all fools and worthless liars
Young and unemployable
Lonely, drunk and beautiful
We are sick and we're so tired.
So tired.
I'm not getting any younger
My bones aren't getting any stronger
My breath won't last for that much longer.
We are sick and we are tired
We're all fools and worthless liars
Young and unemployable
Lonely, drunk and beautiful
We are sick and we're so tired.
So tired.
We were all sinners and drunks but now they're too mature for me
Because Mike's on daytime radio and Jon played Reading and Leeds
But i'm still playing The Purple Turtle on new years eve
We're all fools and worthless liars
Young and unemployable
lonely, drunk and beautiful
we are sick and we're so tired.
So tired.
These songs do not mean half as much as they should do to me
Because I made plans of being more than just that band who had that song about friends and not much else
We're all fools and worthless liars
Young and unemployable
Lonely, drunk and beautiful
We are sick and we're so tired.
So tired.
My bones aren't getting any stronger
My breath won't last for that much longer.
We're all fools and worthless liars
Young and unemployable
Lonely, drunk and beautiful
We are sick and we're so tired.
So tired.

"A song for all the people we have met and all the places we have seen over the years that have shaped us into the bitter bastards we are today"
"This song is really an ode to the past six years of slogging away in a touring band and not really achieving as much as we'd have liked. The song references other bands and friends Mike (Lower Than Atlantis) and John (Young Guns) and how I feel a perpetual bitterness and jealousy towards them in terms of their achievements, despite the fact that they are close friends. The chorus is really just an honest representation of us and how we feel."
