Medicore Gatsby

We drank behind a billboard
That said everything must go
And we took those words to heart
Because that was that summers manifesto

Personality cosplay, gypsy moths burning in the bulbs
We locked eyes against the concrete slabs
And spilt our guts to selfless souls

Never showed, didn’t know
Thanks for calling
Broken bones, bloody toes I'd still come crawling
Overwhelmed by expectations
What were you expecting, lies?
Grain of sugar and your salty eyes

Madeline, I’m a mediocre Gatsby
Don’t try, I’m a mediocre Gatsby
Don’t lie, I’m a mediocre Gatsby

We woke up hand and hand
Started breaking all my bones
Pulling thorns out of my side
As I made my way back home
Good grief you pulled that heart out from my sleeve
I had it well attached with tethered velcro teeth
Goodnight, Satellite I hope you burn in hell with me tonight

Never showed, didn’t know
Thanks for calling
Broken bones, bloody toes I'd still come crawling
Overwhelmed by expectations
What were you expecting, lies?
Grain of sugar and your salty eyes

Madeline, I’m a mediocre Gatsby
Don’t try, I’m a mediocre Gatsby
Don’t lie, I’m a mediocre Gatsby

Toss our bottles to the ground
Into the alley don’t make a sound
Toss our bottles to the ground now

Madeline, I’m a mediocre Gatsby
Don’t try, I’m a mediocre Gatsby
Don’t lie, I’m a mediocre Gatsby
