Car Seat Headrest - Famous Prophets (Stars)

Apologies to future mes and yous
But I can't help feeling like we're through
The ripping of the tape hurts my ears
In my years, I have never seen anyone quit quite like you do

Twin bruises on my shins
From where I kicked the back of the seat in
They meant what I went through for you
But now they're fading, now they're gone

Don't spend too much time on it

These teenage hands
Will never touch yours again
But I remember you, you had a body
You had hands and arms and legs and et cetera

Did I fail Did I fall
In the morning when I wake up, are you mine
Did I waste my time, waste my time on a broken heart
Take the trash out like a bad dream, are you gone
Or is this the start of the great silence
From the old house, the fiercest heart spoke, are you mine
Is this the start of every day
Christmas tree's dead, you know how time flies, are you gone

I'm not gonna end up a nervous wreck
Like the people I know who are nervous wrecks
Though I'm not gonna name names
Yours was an exception
Did the sound just stop
At the end of every day
There'll be nothing left to say
There'll be no backstage pass

We gotta go back

Don't get too impressed
You might lose your breath
Don't predict your death
'Cause I like you the best

Don't you fall apart
You might lose my heart
You know I love your art

The ocean washed over your grave
The ocean washed open your grave

So descend into cliche
If you've found your holy grail
I could fill back in that grave
I could hammer in that nail
I could give you what you want
I could give you what you deserve
I could sing another song
I could watch that hammer swerve

And when the mirror breaks
I wouldn't miss it for the world
Call it blackstar, call it painstar
The same thing happens when you touch it
Did they tell you what happens when you touch it
Let me tell you what happens when you touch it

Let me

So descend into cliche
If the music has forsaken you
Roll the stone over the grave
I never liked that one anyways
Or stare into the face
Of whatever it is that's facing you
And if the levee breaks
You'll find out what it is that's replacing you

And when the mirror breaks
I wouldn't miss it for the world
Call it blackstar, call it painstar
The same thing happens when you touch it
Did they tell you what happens when you touch it
Did they tell you what happens when you touch it
Did they tell you
Did they tell me

What happened to you

It'll take some time
But somewhere down the line
We won't be

Love never fails But where there are prophecies, they will cease where there are tongues, they will be stilled where there is knowledge, it will pass away For we know in part and we prophesy in part, but when completeness comes, what is in part disappears When I was a child, I talked like a child, I thought like a child, I reasoned like a child When I abandoned my childhood, I put these ways behind me For now we see only a reflection as in a mirror then we shall see face to face Now I know in part then I shall know fully, even as I am fully known

And now these two remain
