We were born to be best friends
In between the Cumberland Gap
Something there keeps calling me back again
Telling stories to fill in the cracks
"Let me go, it's a whole year away"
You're chewing ivy to numb all the pain
When your arms started bruising
It was hard to admit you were losing
You dissociate from just a touch
We care a lot, just a bit too much
Oh, oh
You confide in the tracks on your arm
You get more shallow the deeper they are
You just killed yourself to protect it from harm
I had a heart attack in the back of your car
I said you won't get far if you go too far
And I still can't count every self-induced scar
Oh, oh
Great Constellational Cult, you're a star
Oh, oh
"And I know that the losing is hard
If you need, let it be
Leave me back at the start
You can go, I'll be fine"
He said while falling apart
He got so beaten down
It ceased the beat in his heart
There's nothing there, it's the way that you are
You abandoned the body that you used to mar
"He's with God", said a dog through a scowl and cigar
At the table, I watched how you handled the cards
Poker face while you fold
Dealt the hand, couldn't hold
So I burn through the cold
On my way
Headed home from the bar
I see you shining your light from afar
Oh
Great Constellational Cult, you're a star
Oh, oh
Oh, oh
