lyrics

Kind of like the way the eastern sky mounted blue
Kind of like the smile we wear outside blew in two
Did you like the way he opened up? Spoken true
Looked around and found there’s something wrong and gave it to you

It’s the same
Just a game
It’s a shame
I would tear my power (I could walk away)
Like a funeral dead flower (I would leave today)
I could see it all with my eyes (I’d be on my own)
But I’d slip away (I’d be all alone)

Is it reaching in to take away what he grew?
Think about it when it makes you say it’s for you
All this sitting down has hurt my heart. Pray for you
Screaming little hearts that hypnotize come for you

It’s the same
Just a game anyway
It’s a shame
If it dies it doesn’t matter (I could walk away)
Hope the fire doesn’t scatter (I would leave today)
Lightning sings the blood to flow (I’d be on my own)
Then I’d slip away (I’d be all alone)
