Millennial nihilism draped across a really catchy hook and some sweet lil riffs.
lyrics
I know it's dark out early
And you got somewhere you gotta be
But boy, I know you better
And you know I ain't gonna call you on lying to me
It might get colder while we're waiting
We might get older while we're greying
But we got more to give than we got life to live
And it don't come easy when you're fading
I remember being that lonesome
You know you brought me back at least once
Those were the days
When we were raised
On fairy tales and such
But happy endings aren't for us
I might get by now if you leaving
But I won't live the same no more
See I wrote so many eulogies I got no words left in me
I ain't no poet, I'm just poor
And I remember having hope you know
But it was a damn long, long time ago
Those were the days
When we were raised
On fairy tales and such
But happy endings aren't for us
No, happy endings aren't for us
I don't recall a time of peace
But I remember feeling more at ease
Was it all just make believe
Or were we really that naive
In the days
When we were raised
On fairy tales and such
'Cause happy endings aren't for us

Marja's music is the sound of a distant train horn softly bellowing into the still night, if the train were captained by Imogen Heap and warning Sigur Rós to get off the tracks before everyone dies. Ellie Maybe
