lyrics

Knives out
We fight for real this time
I never meant to be right
I don’t know who’s right
It’s a deep sigh in my mind’s eye
Can’t breath as I remember
What it was like

What it’s like

Disordered breathing and thoughts sync up
With these anxious dreams
In this space we keep
Our eyes intertwined
With silence stealing the finish line
We can’t go back in time
Inhaling, exhaling
Sweet absent breath next to mine
Savor devotion suspended in time

Soft beaded sweat
Late nights out
Exhilaration
Get off, Get off

Get off

Held tight to the chest
That you’d rather protect
These expectations invite regret
Broken, but stronger
And more intact
These flowers will wilt
While these words will last
There’s a life to be lived
Promises to be kept

And moving forward
Is all we have left
