Everybody telling me fight these fears
Can be broken, be broken
It’s a never-ending summer of scratched up knees
Knocking closer and closer
I can hear * my breath in the tarmac breeze
Getting louder and louder
And I know that I can leave but I’m drawn back in
And there is nothing I can do about it
Ohhhh, there’s no time
Ohhhh, this slow crime
Ohhhh, you talk like you know.
You don’t.
No patience for the ticking of clocks
Cos their broken, their broken
We can lock in with each other in a state of shock
And it’s closer, it’s closer
I can cut my fist clinging to this rock
Getting colder and colder
I was looking in the mirror and found my fear
And there is nothing I can do about it
Ohhhh, you find words
Ohhhh, to comfort
Ohhhh, obscured, you know.
You don’t.
Oh, oh, oh
You talk around it.
Oh, oh, oh
You talk around it.
Don’t tell me that it’s not a disguise
When I can see there’s conflict in your eyes
Don’t tell me that there’s nothing to say
When you’re the only one looking at yourself that way.
Everybody telling me fight these fears
Can be broken, be broken
And I’m raising the alarm on a recurring dream
It’s awoken, awoken
Ohhhh, you hide out
Ohhhh, there’s no doubt
Ohhhh, if not now
You know, you won’t.
Oh, oh, oh
You talk around it.
Oh, oh, oh
You talk around it.
Don’t tell me that it’s not a disguise
When I can see there’s conflict in your eyes
Don’t tell me that there’s nothing to say
When you’re the only one looking at yourself that way.
Hear me now
Hear me now
And I’m thinking of the words that my mother said,
Before I ruin a life until there’s nothing left,
And I’m stuck here chasing the same old themes
But habits are made to be broken, be broken.
