lyrics

birdsong in my throat can’t find its way out
lockjaw lets the feelings rot, oh god
just one sip of bliss is all i need to
stave off all the passing thoughts, its flawed

hoping again
waiting again
for a chance to pretend that
we’ll last another day
the lie always decays

calling again
talking again
it isn’t right to pretend that
i never caused you pain
can’t stitch a broken chain

striped down to the bone, the sight is chilling
walking on more broken glass, will it pass?
comfort comes in waves, they rinse my mouth out
all i need is one more glance, no chance

hoping again
waiting again
for a chance to pretend that
we’ll last another day
the lie always decays

calling again
talking again
it isn’t right to pretend that
i never caused you pain
can’t stitch a broken chain

all of this
all for what
i know
that i
can’t keep
it up
