Fireworks

from Circadian Tremors by The Act of Estimating as Worthless

	/

lyrics

we all came here to make sure
we wouldn’t forget
we only came here to make sure
we wouldn’t feel left out
it might have been easier
had we just stayed in
stayed home
gone to bed.
we all wanted to anyway
or at least i did.

had there been no fireworks at all
the camera flashes would have been bright enough
they would have been loud enough
they would have been bright enough
they would have been loud enough

they would have been enough of a spectacle
we only came here to make sure we wouldn’t forget.

its funny how in a crowd full of so many people
you can still feel so distant
and its funny that whatever we’re celebrating is so intangible
and i’m not even from here,
so i don’t feel any pride

whatever that feels like.
