  • I was mothered like an orchid tethered to eternal sights
    I hurried home in orbit close to where I know I'm fine
    No edge of the seat, no arms ever broken, you see

    I waited for the crash to come
    Too many days with too little to do
    I waited but nothing came at all
    So many days spent in empty rooms

    The little drum inside behaves itself until you turn twenty-five
    And then it strikes this all we've lived this long and only ever half alive

    I waited for the crash to come
    Too many days with too little to do
    I waited but nothing came at all
    So many days spent in empty rooms

    It's too late for a wasted youth
    All quiet on the Eastern Front now
    We dare not move
    It's too late to wage a war
    It's all quiet on the Eastern Front and
    We all are bored Writer/s: AARON DESSNER, ANDY MONAGHAN, DAVID KENNEDY, GRANT HUTCHISON, SCOTT HUTCHISON, SIMON LIDDEL
