lyrics

This crowded room feels familiar to my hands
The faces on the floor
The witness on the sheets

And I’m not sure whether you’re the one to blame
(We’ve got to get out) I’m not the one
(They’ll make you quake) I’ll make them scream

You always get what you want from me
If I’m the one, you swear I’m the only one
Why was the left side bare?
I knew it felt too right

You always get what you want from me
If I’m the one, you swear I’m the only one

I wanted this to be a meditated, confident release
But pins won’t ease the grief
Expunge the pain left on my knees
This padding is rather tough
Am I meant to feel distraught?
I ask myself, will this ever really work?
Will my conscious sway my words

All of this was under me, inside of me, with every breeze
With every single strand
Every drip of sweat left on my sleeves
You wanted all of this, but never shall it be
I ask myself, will this ever really work?
Or will I ring you out, ring you out, leave you out to dry, (or die)

And I’m sure that the weather here is different where you lay
But make sure to leave some room, some room for the rain to crawl

If I’m the one to save you from your soul
If I’m the one to save you from your soul
I will save you, but leave you out to dry
