lyrics

I paint my eyes black
Let my heart go slack
And then I go dancing
Until my feet bleed

I lie in the cold dark
Waiting for a hint of a spark
Fumbling numbly with strangers
Praying for reprieve

Cuz there’s a thought that lingers in me
That I just can’t shake
It keeps me up at night
Kissing my eyelids ’til I’m wide awake

I let you in
I let you in
I let you in
Now how the hell am I supposed to let you out?

I am a cave longing for a day in the sun
I am a loose tooth in love with the gum
Rip me out before I rot us both

And I know
That you will forget me
And one day you’ll find
A picture, or maybe a limb I left behind
And you’ll take a moment
To remember my name

And that day I know something inside will die
But there’s a realization I have made
That I just can’t hide from

There is a space
There is a space
That I have made for you
So deep inside my chest

You tell me she’s lovely
I can feel that she is
I hope she’s a typhoon
Who can make you resist
The urge to love a shallow pond

Cuz I was an ocean of sharp rocks and debris
I left you bruised I gnawed on you between starving teeth
Yet you managed to cradle my depths

And there’s a thought I have
That leaves me gasping for air
And all I wanna do is tell you
But you’re not here

I love you so
I love you so
So I let you go
And maybe one day
We can find yesterday again

Let’s just find yesterday again
Can we find yesterday again?
Will we find yesterday again?
