Lyrics
found a half-full carton of milk
it blinked at me from the fridge light
leftovers multiplying
like proof i’ve been here too long
how long was i gone
how long was i gone
i can’t read it, can’t see it at all
the expiration date printed too small
has it gone bad or is it me, myself, and i
spoiled by things i forgot to be
guess i’ll drink it and gamble it all
time curdles slowly when you don’t keep track
a little sour, but i’ll come back
plants on the sill, leaves curling in shame
i water them with promises i never maintain
the shower drain’s a tangled diary of hair
each strand a memory of who’s not there
how long was i gone
how long was i gone
i can’t read it, can’t see it at all
the expiration date printed too small
has it gone bad or is it me, myself, and i
spoiled by things i forgot to be
guess i’ll drink it and gamble it all
time curdles slowly when you don’t keep track
a little sour, but i’ll come back
what’s one more day
what’s one more year
mold grows slow, it’s a kind of art
green lace creeping, taking heart
the shelf of my mind’s caving in
i tried to read it, thought, yeah, that tracks
the expiration date printed too small
but both have gone bad, me, myself, and i
spoiled by things i forgot to be
i’ll drink it and gamble it all
time curdles slowly when you don’t keep track
a little sour, but i’ll always come back
