lyrics

You dig your heels in
For good reason. You say you’re not leaving, there’s nowhere to go
You just wanna get high
The city sight’s streaming red lights ‘cross the ceiling and I’ve got the feeling that all of this is just a lie
All of this is just a lie
And we’ll sit idly by

It’s self-inflicted, I don’t need this anymore
Barely breathing on your kitchen floor
All this calamity was once a good friend to me never thought to ask it why
Standing in front of me, over or underneath, I hope we can get by

I can’t remember when they took away the safety is it too late to atone
When you’ve already fallen and the ground where you’re crawling is a mess of flesh and bone?
We chose this, we’re broken, the mess we’re wading through
Feels hopeless, keep going and when it’s through what will you do?
