The sky glows I see it shining when my eyes close I hear your warnings but we both know I'm gonna look at it again
Don't wait, Don't wait The road is now a sudden sea And suddenly, you're deep enough To lay your armor down To lay your armor down To lay your armor down
You get one look I'll show you something that the knife took. A bit too early for my own good Now let's not speak of it again
Don't wait, Don't wait The road is now a sudden sea And suddenly, you're deep enough To lay your armor down To lay your armor down To lay your armor down
Don't wait, Don't wait The lights will flash and fade away The days will pass you by Don't wait To lay your armor down [x5]
Oh sweet lungs don't fail me now Your burning has turned into fear Drills me in my every step, I'm moving quick but you're always on my heels
Just one more breath, I beg you please Just one more step, my knees are weak My heart is sturdy but it needs you to survive My heart is sturdy but it needs you
Breathe, don't you want to breathe? I know that you are strong enough to handle what I need My capillaries scream, there's nothing left to feed on My body needs a reason to cross that line Will you carry me there one more time?
Steady lungs, don't fail me now I feel you bursting, but you won't let me die Fill me up with every step I'm feeling sick, but I'm leaving it behind
Just one long breath I beg you please Just one more step you are not weak My legs are sturdy but they need you to survive My heart is sturdy but I need you
Breathe, don't you want to breathe? I know that you are strong enough to handle what I need My capillaries scream, there's nothing left to feed on My body needs a reason to cross that line Will you carry me there once more? (Once More?)
I have reason to believe that I have victories to taste I can feel them on my teeth, upon my lips and in my chest I can roll them on my tongue, they are more supple than defeat I feel the tension in my lungs and every move is filled by my resolve to
Breathe, don't you want to breathe? I know that you are strong enough to handle what I need My capillaries scream, there's nothing left to feed on My body needs a reason to cross that line Will you carry me there one more time?
We watch the season pull up its own stakes And catch the last weekend of the last week Before the gold and the glimmer have been replaced Another sun soaked season fades away
You have stolen my heart You have stolen my heart
Invitation only grand farewells Crash the best one of the best ones Clear liquor and cloudy eyed, too early to say goodnight
You have stolen my heart You have stolen my heart
And from the ballroom floor we are in celebration One good stretch before our hibernation Our dreams assured and we all will sleep well, sleep well
Sleep well Sleep well Sleep well
You have stolen (my) You have stolen (my) You have stolen my heart
I watch you spin around in your highest heels You are the best one of the best ones We all look like we feel
You have stolen my You have stolen my You have stolen my heart
The air is visible around you, rising up and off your lips in slow currents And i watch as your face is framed in its slow currents Drifting curls a trailing path A long drag becomes a dress of blue and ash
If it is born in flames then we should let it burn Burn as brightly as we can And if its gotta end then let it end in flames Let it burn all the way down
The air is visceral around us, turning in its simple steps on slow currents And i watch as it pirouettes and spins in slow motion A long drag becomes a a slow dance and a halo around her
If it is born in flames then we should let it burn Burn as brightly as we can And if its gotta end then let it end in flames Let it burn all the way down, all the way down
And if this is ever meant to end, then i hope it ends where it began So hot with love, we burned our hands If this is ever meant to end, then i hope it ends where it began So hot with love, it burns our hands
If it is born in flames then we should let it burn Burn as brightly as we can If its gotta end then let it end in flames Let it burn, let it burn If its gotta end let it burn If its gotta end let it burn
Stand down son, start resting easy You've done your service, i am proud to have you home and see you safe, it's so good You look so strong in that picture on the mantle you sent your mom when you were gone But you look scared now, hollow eyed
When are you coming When are you coming back where you belong I swear that it's safe here, there's nothing to fear at all Come on back where you belong, the pressure releases if you just let down your guard
Everything rests on you You know that feeling well, the ball is falling, Falling, falling, so far from a close call Your injuries aren't mortal wounds, The only thing that's killing you is what you saw, What you couldn't stop But you're not the one i blame, it wasn't your mistake
You're safe now so come on back where you belong I swear that it's safe here, there's nothing to fear at all Come on back where you belong, The pressure releases if you just let down your guard
It's the simple things dad, i'm not hurt, i'm not dead, I just should be where my friends are lying And i didn't hate those that i killed but they're all dead now But i'm here alive with satellites and friday nights And no one to judge me for the things that i've done and all So how can i live with that?
Back where i belong Take me back where i belong, you swear that it's safe here Theres nothing to fear at all Take me back where i belong, the pressure releases I just let down my guard
She smiled in a big way, the way a girl like that smiles When the world is hers and she held your eyes Out in the breezeway down by the shore in the lazy summer And she pulled you in, and she bit your lip, and she made you hers She looked deep into you as you lay together quiet in the grasp of dusk and summer
But you've already lost When you only had barely enough to hang on
And she combed your hair, and she kissed your teeth And she made you better than you'd been before She told you bad things you wished you could change in the lazy summer And she told you, laughing down to her core, so she would not cry as she lay in your lap She said "nobody here can live forever, quiet in the grasp of dusk and summer"
But you've already lost When you only had barely enough to hang on
She said, "no one is alone the way you are alone" And you held her looser than you would have if you ever could have known Some things tie your life together, slender threads and things to treasure Days like that should last and last and last
But you've already lost When you only had barely enough of her to hang on
We are the only ones who feel it Tonight we drink, tonight we dance with all the last ones who can hear it We're calling in whispers, we're tired of waiting We'll take what we want and leave, leave what we know behind
We are still dreamers in our dead sleep, naked and tangled, twisted in love And tonight we are the only ones who feel it So let it last all night, so let it last all night Let the fire surround us, let it all cave in, let it all burn wild We are leaving it all behind, we are leaving it all behind Heaven is here
We are tangled and brave We are leaking and saved When heaven's not waiting, it's spilling its secrets It's right here between us, and we've no other choice but believe So let it last all night
Naked and tangled and twisted in love And tonight we are the only ones who feel it Heaven is here And tonight we are the only ones who feel it
Hope dangles on a string Like slow spinning redemption winding in and winding out the shine of it has caught my eye
And roped me in So mesmerizing, so hypnotizing I am captivated, i am
[chorus] vindicated i am selfish i am wrong i am right i swear i'm right i swear i knew it all along
And i am flawed But i am cleaning up so well i am seeing in me now the things you swore you saw yourself
So clear like the diamond in your ring cut to mirror your intentions Oversized and overwhelmed the shine of which has caught my eye
And rendered me so isolated, so motivated i am certain now that i am
So turn up the corners of your lips part them and feel my finger tips trace the moment, fall forever defense is paper thin just one touch and i'd be in too deep now to ever swim against the current So let me slip away So let me slip against the current so let me slip away
Slight hope it dangles on a string like slow spinning redemption...
This is a forgery This is a forgery Every single word is plagiarized Copied twice and thrice inscribed This is a forgery
There is a path, and to get where it's leading You gotta be sharp, and never bend easy
This is an enemy This is an enemy Compliments and chemistry Cavalier and so charming This isn't everything This isn't everything
I had a fit You had a feeling There was a path, and to get where it's leading You had to be shot, you couldn't swerve side to side I was a razor, and you were a straight line
This is a travesty This is a travesty Every sentiment has been contrived Palatable and so refined The sugar sweet to appetite
I had a fit You had a feeling There was a path, and to get where it's leading You had to be shot, you couldn't swerve side to side I was a razor, and you were a straight line
This is a forgery This is a forgery Every single word is plagiarized Copied twice and thrice inscribed This is a forgery
And we were looking at the sun shining bright But it was casket black, so we would search all night
