Kick the chair out from beneath me
Watch as my arms flail
For friends and ropes and things that I can trust
Whatever you and I, we used to be
I think we both agree that what stands between us now
It is not love and it will cost us
How I pay for this
But I pay in precious pain and friends that I have yet to miss
This youth was wasted on all these happy endings we were promised
But I'm not sure exist
You make it harder to stay convinced
Pull the thread out from my tires
And watch as I derail
I'll come apart in ways you never dreamed
Tye it up into a box and sink it in the sea
Where conviction goes to drown
Through the screen I watch you bury me
There's panic in your voice
A death rattle on the line
Oh, how I pay for this
But I pay in precious pain and friends that I have yet to miss
This youth was wasted on all these happy endings we were promised
But I'm not sure exist
It's getting harder to stay convinced
Is it worth it, just to move on?
I have tried to, it came out wrong
Time has found a way to bury me
Oh, how I pay for this
But I pay in pounds of flesh and memories the I so dearly miss
There's so much more to lose
If leaving me behind was the best thing that you could do
Time is an open wound
Not versed in much emo-skramz at all but this hit all my boxes at once in a simple one go and it haven't left that impression afterwards. It got it all, from the heartfelt vox to the equal solid instrumentations all along. Shapeshifting
