Brave Faces, Everyone - Spanish Love Songs

Broken nose

Another textured ceiling

I know where I am

I’ll pretend like I’m lost

Sometimes I want to vanish completely

Call in sick from life

I woke up and didn’t feel better

Don’t know why I’d act surprised

At least each year is getting shorter

And the ocean’s on the rise

I’m terrified there’s no more waiting

I’m running out of what comes next

Running through jobs I’m gonna hate

Living paycheck to paycheck

Like my parents

And their parents

And their parents before them

I should be happy I have no personal effects

But I’ve got my encore

I’m back living on their floor

I feel like burning down my life again

Watch the fire spread over my skin

Until I’m nothing left but skeleton

I saw a sign in Hannover

That said «the future is in motion.»

But the motion has me sick

It’s okay I’m sick of standing

Still paying off a good idea

From when I was 23

A life spent living off loans

And I still don’t know what I love

I’m over-leveraged

My credit’s gone weak

And the city turned off the power

So you know it’s dark most of the week

But if I burn this place down

We’d have some heat

At least I’m seeing things more positively

Because I swear to god, I’m an optimist

I feel like burning down my life again

Watch the fire spread over my skin

Until I’m nothing left but skeleton

A pile of dust that’s free just floating in the wind

Brave faces everyone

I’m always looking up and you’re jumping

Brave faces everyone

But this world, it has no empathy

We’ll never find our own place

And if nothing gets better

It’s as bad as it seems

Why can’t we say fuck it?

You know it’s not what we need

I’m sick of yelling at strangers

Don’t want to do this forever

When it all burns down

Will you carry me over?

We don’t have to fix everything at once

We were never broken

Life’s just very long

Brave faces, everyone
