[Verse 1]
You drew clocks in the margins
Counting minutes that you never claimed
All that cheap mascara laughter
Hiding something heavy you never named
Melancholy in the mirror
Under photos from a better age
All those almosts on the dresser
Like a script stuck on the same old page
[Chorus]
We built coffins made of childish games
Buried daylight under other people’s blame
Called it “busy” and we called it “fine”
Adulthood on a broken spine
All these years we wrapped in plastic shame
God
It hurts to see the wasted time
[Verse 2]
You learned how to sign the papers
How to pour a drink and play pretend
Raised a glass to small promotions
Let the bigger questions hit the fence
Every Sunday
Same excuses
Every “later” turned to “never mind”
Now your friends are having children
You can’t even name what you left behind
[Chorus]
We built coffins made of childish games
Buried daylight under other people’s blame
Called it “busy” and we called it “fine”
Adulthood on a broken spine
All these years we wrapped in plastic shame
God
It hurts to see the wasted time
[Bridge]
How much longer
Can you bargain with the grave? (hey)
While the calendar keeps carving
Every promise that you gave
Is there mercy
For the seconds you betrayed?
Or do they haunt you in the dark
Like a debt you never paid?
[Chorus]
We built coffins made of childish games
Buried daylight under other people’s blame
Called it “later” and we called it “mine”
Adulthood on a crooked line
All these years we dressed in borrowed names
God
It hurts to see the wasted time
