Stark Ravn - By The Pier, By The Beach, Where The Amusement Park Was Lyrics

She stares out her window
Contemplating whether to stay awake or go to sleep
She stares out her window
Contemplating suicide
And she grabs that old coat
That smells of Rizla rolls, rosé, and regret
And she walks to the pier to sit
As she's done so many times before

Just to look out over the sea
And think of half-forgotten better days
Just her and her friends eating ice creams
On the pier, by the beach, where the amusement park was
On the pier, by the beach, where the amusement park was

He wakes up at 4:30 again
Thinks to himself, "Must be third time this week."
He can barely keep his eyes open
Sure as shit can't shut 'em
But what the hell? Only three hours 'til work
Might as well get crackin'
Cause as his mama always told him
Time spent waiting around is time wasted

He rubbed his eyes in the car | She walked back from the pier
His lights were half-working | She was walking home
He saw the ghost of a shadow in the December morning dark | She crossed the road
Officer, I swear I couldn't see her | She stopped

Now at her funeral the rumors went around
Half the people thought he killed her the rest winced at the sound
They sang hymns for life and death in the white box
And kicked themselves that they hadn't seen her enough

Now some will find solace in whatever they believe
Bury themselves in comforting sounds that deceive
Now some will feel their pain is never enough
And live with that wound until they themselves stop

She grabbed that old coat
That smells of Rizla rolls, rosé and regret
And she walked to the pier to sit
As she'd done so many times before (Semper vivit)
Just to look out over the sea (Pergit vivire)
And think of half-forgotten better days (Semper vivit)
Just her and her friends, food and ice cream (Pergit vivire)

(Semper vivit, pergit vivire)
On the pier, by the beach, where the amusement park was
(Semper vivit, pergit vivire)
On the pier, by the beach, where the amusement park was
On the pier, by the beach, where the amusement park was
