Regret Consumes Me - Showbread

It must have been easier when we were younger

And the world takes place two feet outside of your head

Then something expanded and you start to feel stranded

So you scramble outside of the skin you shed

It must have been easier when the lights were brighter

And the girls were screaming your name

Then the bulbs burn out and you’re left in doubt

And everything starts to feel the same

You couldn’t stand it I suppose

Life comes and then life goes

Some things nobody knows

Some things nobody knows

Must have been easier to feel in control

Where you were so small and you needed a way to feel big

So you took all you could, felt pretty good

Suddenly you’re aware of what you did

Must have been easier to be somebody we knew

Or maybe you felt spent

Suddenly you’re gone and everything goes wrong

No one knows just why you went

Couldn’t stand it I suppose

Life comes and then life goes

Some things nobody knows

Some things nobody knows

Couldn’t stand it I suppose

Life comes and then life goes

Some things nobody knows

Some things nobody knows

Some things are easy, some things aren’t a breeze

And some of my branches stretch out and bear fruit

Some branches die when they freeze

Sometimes I think of you

We couldn’t stand you, I suppose

Life comes and then life goes

Some things nobody knows

Some things nobody knows

You jumped from a plane that you thought would explode

And you slowly drift your way down

With the dead weight gone the plane flies on

The madness in flight, the safety of the ground
