and then there was one
|
with a sharpened grin
|
in a home i was never meant to find.
|
the wound was exposed
|
and i fell in
|
a curse i was blessed with as a child
|
|
and i spent my life waiting for this
|
i knew i even bore the mark around my wrist
|
and i feel like this could be enough
|
and i feel like this could be the one
|
this could be the one.
|
|
raise your palms to me
|
and let me show you where our lines collide
|
graze the scalp and see
|
and show me where you think they placed that tracking device.
|
|
it's so contagious
|
you can't escape from me
|
you can't run
|
they're hot on your trail
|
they're hunting you down
|
for a lock of your hair
|
and they shot you on the space
|
between your wings.
|
they tied your limbs
|
and made you sing
|
what makes you so evasive?
|
you can't escape from me.
|
we've lost communication
|
these words will dissipate
|
i've scoured through this wasteland
|
you are a mystery
|
and i caught you right before you fled
|
|
if i could breathe in your air
|
then i'd believe what you said
|
if i could see what you see
|
then i would never have left
|
|
i picked apart all the clues that i found
|
i stood out
|
i stood out for you to show yourself
|
i picked apart all the clues that i found
|
i stood out
|
i stood out for you to show yourself
|
|
we can forget everything we've become
|
it's not far
|
it's not far until the oxygen
|
we can forget everything we've become
|
it's not far
|
it's not far until the oxygen
|
|
show me what's in store
|
locked beneath trap doors
|
|
for every plot unrevealed
|
you counted my scars
|
and made me sing
|
every note
|
every secret
|
forced me back into lucidity
|
and you proved to us,
|
you proved to me
|
|
if i could breathe in your air
|
then i'd believe what you said
|
if i could see what you see
|
then i would never have left
|
|
suffer the distance between
|
we'll douse our words in kerosine
|
suffer, leave something for me
|
we'll burn them all until we make this through
|
we'll burn them all until we make this through
|
|
i'll clip my wings
|
and give it all to you.
|
i'll clip my wings
|
and give it all to you.
