muted spotlight draped over curves

delicate lines

empty words the shadows here the shadows here

swallow

everything that is was and never could be silk smooth

hands whisper together

seal the deal locked in forever

no thanksgiving no thanksgiving

save my life

then i'll tell you how you should be living

creations of nations built on top of their homes

hand over stone over blood and bone

i'm feeding you i'm feeding you

but in the end you're gonna bite off

more than you can chew

believe what you want thread the needle through

what you believe is what will define you

you're child in me you're child in me

guess i'm not who you thought or who you want me to be

so many people living in the past

am i one of them

should i give up at last

let go of them let go of them

you know it's hard to focus you spread so thin

so what do you do what do you live for

are you picking the locks on one remaining door

it's hard to live yeah it's hard to live

born to take but all you really want to do is give

rusted moonlight drift over curves

enemy lines shadowy words

lift the veil lift the veil

feel all that is was never should be sandpaper

hands whisper together

bleeding and crack they'll remember forever

promises promises promises broken

now choke on the dusty words

so casually spoken

it's lying time again

oh it's crying time again

yeah it's lying time again

oh it's dying time again

and in your eyes so clear

i see the bullets and the fear

now you geminize all that you hold dear

and i don't know where to begin

don't know what why who where or when

but i'm gonna wake up swinging and never sleep again
