Just thinkin’ of the old day. Rental halls on frozen nights. I’m piecing it together that everything was much better than we knew. So we sit, circled as friends, trying to pretend we haven’t changed a bit. But don’t pretend you can’t see. The cracks are thick and the ice is thin.
Do your best to look engaged ‘cause there’s so much you give away in your smile. I’ve heard tell it’s the end of days, but let’s not get carried away. ‘Cause I’ve hit my stride and it’s not surprise. These bonds we’ve forged can’t be broken by the hands of time. I’ve always heard them say they cast the bodies they found preserved in the ashes.
I can see it so clearly now. This place takes me back to those days. And nothing changes those faces- but we’re not the same. Can we pick up where we left off? It’s a crime to lose touch and track your friends by their distance. Don’t wanna be admired by tongue, not by heart.
We are the few who remain, though it’s in my blood to run. And the few who have stayed are born of the same heart. We are the few who remain and these arms are ready. So we put up a good fight. Yeah, we put up a good fight.

We are the few who remain. The few who have stayed. But at least I can say that we put up a good fight.
We are the few who remain. The few who have stayed. But at least I can say… Always heard they cast the bodies in the ashes.
The lead singer of punk band Camp Cope ventures into romantic synth-pop territory, tempering slick arrangements with bare sentiment.
