Fossil was a friend of mine
So strange it meant anything
Emergency upon the pale green wing
Subterfuge in the jewelry aisle
For my CCTV dream
Thinking nothing

Fossil was a friend of mine
In sunken-ship shades of blue
A winding wander toward the warmth of youth
Videotapes of marching bands
Shaky hands and chattering teeth
Thinking nothing, far too young to be at peace

Oh, please tell me why you're leaving
Have you simply played your part?
Are you one of them, who tiptoes through the dark?
Or in the light, do you believe
That nothing binds and nothing bleeds
And do you play the bigger man so preemptively?

A winter night, a winning smile
Convinced me that life's a game
It's not the cards you're dealt, it's how you play
I'd never been touched by God before
But I wanted something there
If I can't compare

Yet all those nights perched over death
Can force an unworthy hand
A shot at life, I lunged, I hatched my plan
So when fossil beat me to adulthood
It took a couple weeks to learn
If I can't compare, where the hell else do I turn?

Oh, please tell me why you're leaving
Have you simply played your part?
Are you one of them, who tiptoes through the dark?
Or are you frightened stiff like me
That nothing binds and nothing bleeds
And do you play the bigger man so preemptively?

The wedding of two friends who'd stayed
I showed up dressed to the nines
A trojan horse, the ravages of time
But every face was new to me
So I left a drunken shell
You deserve yourself

Yet fossil was a friend of mine
With an open palm to the wind
Running like the world someday begins
And all I hope's that the city's warm
When the winter reappears
You deserve yourself, you deserve each rosy year
