Morning Breath from Lunger by Stay Inside

Maybe I..
could sacrifice the little things
to make you happy,
to make you wanna
stick around for a while.

I used to get you high.
Now Ivy’s just a lullaby
to please your friends and
sedate your parents.
“Man, he’s such a great guy.”

If there’s ever a time
to tell me what you write about,
then tell me what you write about,
right about now.

Morning Breath,
oh you taste like
an overnight success
in making everybody chase your mess.

Morning Breath,
are you choked up?
Did I love you to death?
Are you smothered
from never saying what you meant?

I hope we find
that there’s more to life.
You just cut off more than you could handle.
I hope we drive
even faster than our hearts can take.
I’ll help you burn both ends of the candle.

Why do you pretend?

Morning Breath,
oh you taste like
an overnight success
in makin’ everybody chase your mess.

Morning Breath,
are you choked up?
Did I love you to death?
Are you smothered
from never saying what you meant?

I hope we find
that there’s more to life.
You just cut off more than you could handle.
I hope we drive
even faster than our hearts can take.
I’ll help you burn both ends of the candle.
