Liam Rogers - Trading Cards Lyrics



Liam Rogers - Trading Cards Lyrics
Official




Inside the mirror, my father's face and I lock into a standstill
Muddy green, life-stained eyes
A matter of moral compasses and crime
What we beg for in silence is what we reach in hindsight
Suppose fear was my scripture, time, an answer from some God
Faith fades into stubbornness, soon discover what you're not
Slammed doors and loud voices, "I'll clean the mess while you're gone"
Reevaluate my value like old trading cards
Wish we could've left under different circumstances
Why do the growing pains feel the need to hurt so bad
Demons in my brain, monsters below the mattress
I'll do all that I can do with the effort you never had
Couldn't hold a job long and a magnet to new sorrows
Old movies and liquor bottles seemed to soothe a lost cause
Bought you a superman mug in hopes that it would solve all
The problems early on and the violence you taught
Walked out in cold handcuffs, didn't stay inside them
Blurred the lines for many years, memories and battle scars
I no longer cry for those simply incapable
I tend to tattered, worn boxes like old trading cards
Wish we could've left under different circumstances
Why do the growing pains feel the need to hurt so bad
Demons in my brain, monsters below the mattress
I'll do all that I can do with the effort you never had
Your reflection still remains, while I'm the one who must refrain
Nightmares are necessary to provoke better dreams in the dark
Thank you for being what you knew how to be
Because now I just write it out upon lines and cell phone screens
Too short a life to be angry, too young to hold such a grudge
And my mother's been smiling lately, so I see that I am loved
I know of hope and how anxiety stings the heart
Bless faces aged with time now like the tops of old trading cards
Get better, be better, do better, get better, be better, do better
Trying my best, I'm trying, when I'm the only one of us to care
Get better, be better, do better, get better, be better, do better
Isn't it ironic that your absence kept me all there
