lyrics

are you cold when they had clothes
I walked broken beyond my bones
and They're saying an empty psalm
It only tells me, I never mattered

Life's got valleys, go with your gut
endless parties, the days dragged on
highschool horror, hichschool was dumb
tell the devil it never mattered

they chose money and I chose prayer
in the east-lands we found you cared
it’s your awkward and empty stare
where you told me that nothing matters

then I gave you all that I had
and there's still weight upon my back
not what I’ve wanted, just what I have
Tell myself it will not matter

life's got valleys, go with your gut
birthday parties, the day was young
highschool glory, hichschool was fun
tell the champions it never mattered

and the free lands still raising flags
keep us running, the iron hand
find a ritual, take nothing back
until we find out we never mattered

may we all bend the knee to the two sided nation
may we all rest easy and ignore our convictions
and we'll learn, we do not matter

I was cold you gave me clothes
had no comfort you gave me some
I read old psalms, and prayed alone
with a smile I do not matter
