Parade Lyrics - Familiars - Antlers

Right when the blizzard ends, they throw a fucking huge parade 

A great excuse for celebration of the mess they've made 

But then when the streets get flooded, we know what proximity's worth 

'cause we're already here, in the same place when our phones don't work 

So then we lie down in our field and just do nothing at all 

And i'm getting ready for when everything is wonderful 

For just a couple pairs of broken bones with broken feathers in blood 

In a meadow, uncut and understood 

We can be an island apart from a ceaseless war on our heart 

Harbored in a fortress insurmountable 

Taller than affliction, safe wherever we are 

Erasing horror and disgust 

Rewinding the sorrow and the rust 

Before our suffering's suffering, hadn't we suffered enough? 

On the morning that we're both 19 and newly on our own 

And all we know is "each other" and invisible homes 

We find two empty seats in the back of a car in an empty parking lot 

Where all our bridges are abandoned and the cops have forgot
