about

Advocate is a song about not playing the victim, and accepting your role in a relationship that is breaking down.
This is shown in lines like:
"Is it too late to change? Start to self medicate.
I got to get something off my chest.
I'm an advocate for loneliness"

lyrics

I stopped the bleeding for now
Fell asleep on the couch
My mouth is dry
And my hands are tied
I'm sick of waiting for you
Like a kiss in the booth
It's summertime
But I'm cold July

We found out
Living isn't living when a love is dying
This ghost town
Used to be the centre of all our desires
Wear you out
Thought time would make it better but we let ourselves down
We let ourselves down

Barefoot in the creek
Tried to wash off this feeling
I let you drown
A stain I can't get out

Is it too late to change
Start to self-medicate
I've got to get something off my chest
I'm an advocate for loneliness

We found out
Living isn't living when a love is dying
This ghost town
Used to be the centre of all our desires
Wear you out
Thought time would make it better but we let ourselves down
Thought time would make it better but we let ourselves

Take a little back, can I take a little back
Take a little back, can I take a little back now

We found out
Living isn't living when a love is dying
This ghost town
Used to be the centre of all our desires
Wear you out
Thought time would make it better but we let ourselves down
Thought time would make it better but we let ourselves down
