Twenty-four Minus Eighteen Lyrics - Before Braille

Confidence, coming clean, ambivalent to everything 

24 minus 18, find a problem for everything 

Don't try to tell me what I mean 

Don't try to build yourself from the outside 

Don't try to make yourself; you'll break every time 

Don't try to take your guilt and leave it behind 

I carry mine 

This lust will defeat us 

I've learned too many times 

You cuss when you see us 

I'm taking all this in stride 

I breathe too hard 

My lungs are scarred 

Have you tried to arrest yourself, arrested in time 

Why change if you can't find the time 

Try to make the most of this or get left behind 

Everything comes at a price 

You trust us when you need us 

Why do I feel there's nothing inside 

This crutch will relieve us 

How can I fix this if I haven't tried 

I want to send you roses before your death is staged 

When understanding violence, suspects know their fate 

I want another reason why I never help myself 

I waste my days regretting why 

Celebrate, Semper fi, Sic Transit Gloria 

If you don't intend to go, never say that you want to 

Stay home until you know, life's short, but quite a ride 

Got 8 months to go, a tightened grip will get you through 

Don't forget your goals, 

time is on your side'as long as you're alive 

You want some closure 

You almost finished 

But couldn't fool your pride 

Out of nothing, fake forgiveness 

Never satisfied 

(What if I'd lied)
