lyrics

Like broken altar calls, we reign judgment on ourselves
by counting all the broken bottles in the house
and the catacombs
do you remember how we first met?
I was weak but I was trying to grow stronger
you were patient but you couldn't wait much longer
and now, I don't know where you've been

Like the throws of a dying man, desperation overcomes us
as we try to hold the end off
and it might seem hopeless
but have we ever really tried now?
I've been taking you for granted like a solid fool
but you've been taking me as someone who won't need you
and now, I don't know who's to blame

but you, in your own way, created everything
you made love out of nothing, but nothing has changed
well, i'm starting to think it never will

Like a knife in a socket, we we're shocked to find a perfect fit
was never truly harmless
and it might seem crazy
but do you want to try again now?
I've made mistakes and i've apologized a thousand times
but your forgiveness hangs from shoelaces on power lines
and it's barely out of reach

like worn human effigies, we we're made to burn each other down
so maybe you should call me back.
I miss you.
do you remember all the good times?
I made some promises I knew that I could never keep
but you're too trusting, and I guess my spirit's just to weak
and that's never gonna change

and I know it's not our time,
but I can't shake this feeling deep inside
my heart, is beating faster than it
ever has before

and my lungs can't catch my breath
because these words inside compress my chest
and i know, i know it's not the
time to tell the truth

I only lie because it's easier than telling you the truth.
