Aidan Noell - Selective Service Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Traveling backwards
A fistful of brush
Blindly clutched in my hand
Bleeding quickly but smiling for you
Like I do, once again
An impulsive curse
It's a punishing habit
Unwilling to shake your gaze
And paying for that
This thorn in my hand
Like the one I've become in your side
Always out of time

[Chorus]
Warping memories 'til they're tied in knots
Vain attempts to justify what it cost
It's an ocean of trouble and we're stomaching too much
Internally drowning
Pail after pail of salt water
A violent paradise lost

[Verse 2]
Talking only in iambic verse
Structuring numbers
Patterns repeating
They function for you the same I do
Drafted into
This selective service
There's no escaping it now
I'm wondering how self-preservation comes more naturally
To vegetation than me
[Chorus]
Warping memories 'til they're tied in knots
Vain attempts to justify what it cost
It's an ocean of trouble and we're stomaching too much
Internally drowning
Pail after pail of salt water
A violent paradise lost

[Verse 3]
Bracing again at the thought of your touch
I blame myself for not armoring up
Time and again, like a song
I bruise like a peach at my name on your tongue
Wounded in rhyme
The chorus again keeping score
But the voice starts to break
The key is all wrong
And I'm losing control, it's a shame
A feeling I hate but I'm pressing repeat all the same
A sickening taste but it's filling me up
Drowning together in our violent paradise lost
