lyrics

I hope it gathers dust in your closet
Hope you like it lots, but don't love it
I hope it brings you back to when we were kids
And we couldn't cut open our friends

I hope it gathers dust in your closet
I hope it made sense once but you lost it
I hope you had the words in your head
But your train of thought went spinning again

I hope it gathers dust in your closet
I hope you withered slow and you drug it out
I hope it brings you back to that moment
When your liquored lips drew that smoke in

You buried our hearth and our home
Behind the coat racks and the catacombs
And you, wasted, wasted hours of it
Yours, mine, and ours and you buried me alone

I hope it gathers dust in your closet
hope your life is not what you wanted
I hope you figured out where your mind is
And the matter of time that keeps ticking

I hope it gathers dust in your closet
I hope it's pretty mounted and broken
I hope your vis a vis triggered something
And you left some crumbs for the taking

I hope it gathers dust in your closet
I hope you made your mind up to toss it out
I hope it gets stuck to the shelf you put in
And seeing it again left you aching

You buried our hearth and our home
Behind the coat racks and the catacombs
And you, wasted, wasted hours of it
Yours, mine, and ours and you buried me alone
