What's The Point? It Never Goes Anywhere!

from Test​/​Retest by The Knockdown

lyrics

I am skin and bones, hair and thread until my sunset comes
In which I return to the earth in hope that I’ll go back to where I belong

I want to see the pieces of the world that I’ve been promised for so long
They’re so inviting
A picture of a place I’ve never been
Courageous stories that could fit
Into the place that is where I belong

From Aracebo Puerto Rico
To Rochester New York to ex’s
Loans and growing old or gaining my own self control
Has brought me full circle with what I know to be the final truth
My father, mother, friends
All wait for something else to finally begin
But the days only bring us more war in refrain

We’re patient

And still nothing comes but sadness
Disappointment like love that was sand in my hands, falling out
It starts to form the shore that harbors hate
It’s so dependent
On judgment of one’s life so far
It carries on to form the perfect weight
For our descendents
No evil to rise up against
Just the burden breaking our chance

But there’s a world
Far out past the breaker
Where the skyline meets up with the sea
All the moments of your life fall into one thought
At this moment you are finally free
You can see hope go on for miles
Past forever, past everything we know

It starts with a single first step
Are you ready? Ready to begin?
Breakout!

Get up and get out and get the fuck out of town
Get up and get out and make a life for yourself
