lyrics

Lie still
While my mind spills
Cause I’m so saturated
Wrecked and soaked
But you keep raining down
On all sides
Ghost in my life

Night’s pale
My mind’s stale
Cause I’m wrung out, sedated
Empty bones, you can break ‘em
With a long sigh
But my throat’s too dry
And I don’t have a life
I never really thought to prune
The dull, rotting roots
Where they found you

Bright trails
I know my eyes will fail to find
Once phosphorescent
You were frozen cement
And I was warm, dry
But coasting by
Now you’ve re-bent the roots
In tune
And I like that they treat you well

Cause this time I’m unexceptional
Still whine over sewn-up ventricles
I know your hear it as a hollow sound
But a heart breeds a pulse
No doubt about it

And this time my arms don’t bend at all
To un-rust my brain with chemicals
I know you see me as a fossil now
But it’s fine, in time
Somebody will dig me out

You face ‘em off
One by one
You’re a natural
Cause you live
Like you’re almost alive
But there’s something still rustling
In the room between the rocks
A subtle hue of you
Still glows on the reef

So venture off
Untie the roots and run
Your hands are rough
Because you live like it’s honest
To keep things to yourself
But that remains to be seen
Yeah, I’m not sure if I’ll last
But at least I’ll glow in the pavement
