lyrics

It’ll get you by the ankle
When you’re face-down getting walked on on a table
Two missed calls from the same number
High on released toxins from your back
You call back and get the news
It always comes but today it comes for you

When and how are answered
But you don’t get to know why
You hang up and try to cry
Feel guilty for still being alive

It’s not about you, it’s not about you, it’s not about you

In the pitch black of the morning
At the airport calling someone that you shouldn’t
She hangs up, you crank the volume
Weeping Aeroplane Over the Sea
Hide your face as you ascend
Buried by the window’s silent wind

Oh, when and how, but why
Ugly cry the friendly sky
Never asked to be alive

It’s not about you, it’s not about you, it’s not about you
It’s not about you, it’s not about you, it’s not about you

Looking at the calendar, it’s sure to come again
Death is coming for us all, I should be a better friend
I feel it in my throat, I know something’s going to give
And I’m still have trouble finding good reasons to live

It’s not about you, it’s not about you, it’s not about you
It’s not about you, it’s not about you, it’s not about you
It’s not about you, it’s not about you, it’s not about you
It’s not about you, it’s not about you, it’s not about you
It’s not about you, it’s not about you, it’s not about you
It’s not about
