lirik lagu zweihandr - pastime
[intro]
dj archfiend
[verse 1]
it’s been at least 12 years
since they boarded up the meijer
where i saw a box of junk inspire
me for the next centennial, when i learned
that playing a teen game wouldn’t land me in jail, and that no crime was worse
than leaving a teen girl on the park bench in tears
cause a devil may cry when it forgets the gate
that it’s been guarding now for how many weeks, months, millennia?
[verse 2]
stacks upon stacks upon stacks spent
between supermarket rainstorms
and sweat soaked carpet
to a hole in the wall
to a hole in the window
to a boy in the hall, sobbing
“i don’t want to read the rules”
booklet in my hand trembling
as it braced for the fall
it’s not the last time i’d play the fool
but it’s cool, it’s cool
in the end, it’s just a pastime, anyway
in the end, it’s just a pastime
[bridge]
my mom used to tell me about the people she’d see in bars back in romania
how it was all just these old guys sitting at the counter
wasting their lives away, talking about the same things
and how she’d come back some ten years of not being in the city
and run back into those same bars seeing the same people talk about the same things
i moved around a lot as a kid
and whenever i was in an area i used to live in
i’d go visit the game store
and every time i went
i’d see the same people, playing the same games
except they never quite remembered who i was
[verse 3]
it’s a dark world, when i can’t shed a tear
lament over people who i never held dear enough
or throw a smile with a passing glance
and leave my pride as a victim of circumstance
i still see foxes when i look at the scars
nine tails severed, left dead in the hallway
sliced with reeds too thin to trace back to the point that
i’d felt for the fallen kitsune
[verse 4]
“壊れない友達と絆”
spent all my childhood repeating that mantra
but what are you meant to do
when your friends don’t recognize you?
all my patience is is planetary
all my kindness is involuntary
knock over the house of cards just to feel
like i’m the one behind that wheel
[outro]
all it ever was, was a pastime
all it ever was, was a way to pass the time
all it ever was, was a pastime
all it ever was, was a way to pass the time
