Another fairly innocuous pop tune with extremely rough first-draft lyrics, but I kinda like the bones of this one, too.
lyrics
You broke your bones
On bricks and stones
Can’t be
Bothered to own your steps
You’re only
Dreaming of a heaven to come
Starting to think
The first to blink
Might be
Stand on the brink and jump
I’m only
Screaming, but you just play dumb
How to leave? how to breathe? when you won’t look me in the eye
all it proves
Learned the moves
It’s a slow dance to goodbye
Last of our kind
We came in blind
Can’t see
What we could find and
Maybe we got lost in
The smoke from the fire
But you couldn’t fake
You felt the ache
coming
Shook from the shakedown
Drums keep drumming
Louder
Got lost in the mire
How to leave? how to breathe? when you won’t look me in the eye
all it proves
Learned the moves
It’s a slow dance to goodbye
we find our refuge
Close as they come
Cause you know there’s
No time for regret
And if we’re losing
All that we’ve won
Well, we’ve found
a fine way to forget
