lyrics

We can talk about it
With the words that we once knew
We got double knotted
Tongue tied by the colour of the bruise
Strip the paint now from it
Expose the nerve with something new
When the smoke starts coming
We’ll see just how fast you can move

I lost my footing in the fire

All the ink has dried on the pages
That I wrote when I was a teenager
And through unfocused eyes
I can see that time is its heaviest from behind

Tired of dancing around it
But my shoes are still tied tight
Keep trying to unlock it
Even if your key broke off inside
The flames may not be worth it
I’m giving up on the new excuse
Not saying I’m above it
Just watching it all from the roof

I lost my footing in the fire
I left something to be desired
I lost my footing in the fire

All the ink has dried on the pages
That I wrote when I was a teenager
And through unfocused eyes
I can see that time is where its heaviest
All the ink has dried on the pages
That I wrote when I was a teenager
And through unfocused eyes
I can see that time is its heaviest from behind
