about

Stripped from video. Recorded August 30th, 2013 at Warehouse Live! in Houston, Texas.

lyrics

I was a baby once,
Innocent and new.
But now I’m used up, so don’t wait up.
I’m headed west to chase the moon.

Brace yourself,
There’s a tempest coming to wipe out all our days,
Even the one where you dodged my lips
And said you were through with me.
Well I guess there’s nothing left for me here
So the endless blanket of night is what I’ll seek.

Go your own way
And try your best to start anew.
I’m headed west
Too keep up with the constant moon.

All gassed up.
Gonna reach the coast
And find a compass and a boat.
Don’t try to track me down
Or apologize.
You had your chance and you tainted me.
The starlit sky and the black horizon
Outshine your moderate majesty.
(Time opens all wounds.)

Go your own way
And try your best to start anew.
I’m headed west
To keep up with the constant moon.
Stand still and things pass too soon.

Hey, babe, you’re the proof
That light and love—they just burn and bruise.

Happy endings are a hoax,
Fond farewells and promises.
So instead of saying our goodbyes,
Let’s just say our Fuck You's.
