The Long Con - Shayfer James

We built this house around trap doors

In case of betrayal or nuclear war

We built this house around busted beams

Pragmatic romantics with troubling dreams

Now there’s nothin'

Nothin' worth hidin' for anymore

Yeah there’s nothin'

Nothin' worth worryin' for anymore

So drink with me as the world ends

Laugh with me as the sun dies

Walk with me in the last remaining light

So drink with me as the world ends

Sleep with me as the moon falls

Into the endless night

I made a boat out of collar bones

And you carved a harbor from cinnamon stones

We charted course for the end of days

A plan for disaster and dancing on graves

Now there’s nothin'

Nothin' worth drownin' for anymore

Yeah there’s nothin'

Nothin' worth worryin' for anymore

So drink with me as the world ends

Laugh with me as the sun dies

Walk with me in the last remaining light

So drink with me as the world ends

Sleep with me as the moon falls

Into the endless night

We made a fable from broken things

First-person poems and second-hand rings

We made a case for the long con

Cause when you travel together you’ve never been gone

Now there’s nothin'

Nothin' worth runnin' for anymore

Yeah there’s nothin'

Nothin' worth worryin' for anymore

So drink with me as the world ends

Laugh with me as the sun dies

Walk with me in the last remaining light

So drink with me as the world ends

Sleep with me as the moon falls

Into the endless night

Drink with me as the world ends

Laugh with me as the sun dies

Walk with me in the last remaining light

Drink with me as the world ends

Sleep with me as the moon falls

Into the endless night
