"Everlasting" song by Matt Maeson (Lyrics)

[Verse 1]
Being honest just got you in trouble
So your mind is liquor and rubble
And in all of your lonely spaces
Sits attractive irrational thinking
Like why can’t you just get up, get out
Leave your wife and your kid and your house
Stamp the fire and start one anew
Like the darkness that’s growing in you
Leave the age on your face, the dog on the couch
Leave the pain in your knee, the teeth in your mouth
Leave the yells in the halls, the paint on the walls and start living?

[Chorus]
Golly, boy you’re such a fool
Don’t you know we count on you
Grit your teeth and make us proud
Fake it when you don’t know how

[Instrumental]

[Verse 2]
Is your brain singing songs to itself
Are the miles calling for help
Do your words taste real when they’re belted?
Does your mind feel good when it’s melted?
We’re all here when you are not present
We’re all here when you’re out and irreverent
We’re all here when you’re lost to the static
When you act as if you’re made for acting
We’re all here when the shame pokes the back of your frame
We’re all here when you’re drunk and you still won’t abstain
We’re all here when you treat your life like life everlasting

[Chorus]
Golly, boy you’re such a fool
Don’t you know we count on you
Grit your teeth and make us proud
Don’t act like you don’t know how

"HUM"

If trees grew upside down
And root houses were in fashion
I’d build me a root house high in the clouds
Of the bare peaked mountain
With snow at its base
There I’d spend my nights 
Looking down at the stars
That shine under the sky
From the seas of illusion 
To the deserts of green
And swing from the roots of my lone sanity
