(We create a new sound to kill the old sound
We open old wounds to flood the room)
(We create a new sound to kill the old sound
We open old wounds to flood the room)
Looking back, there's nothing for me there
Standing still is just more than I can bear
That outside world will only cut your throat
Your hometown is just hoping you'll to implode
I'm scared of shadows from my past,
They loom large until there's light
I never thought that I could be
Happy, I just know I can't admit I'm not
We're overfed, til the seams are bursting
I'm still starved for the love I never got
Scared of shadows from your past
They're looming large until there's light
I can see the birds of prey circling overhead
They might strip our bones and I might long for it
Never meant to say I'm sorry, just hate to hear an awkward pause
Unmarked, my feelings get buried up to my throat 'til I can't talk
I'm scared of shadows from my past
They're looming large until there's light
I see the birds of prey circling overhead
They might strip our bones and I might long for it
There's nothing wrong with me, I've given everything
There's nothing left in my heart, I've used up everything
I see the birds of prey circling overhead
They might strip our bones, and sell the rest for scrap
You might hear my words but you can't truly know
Because these scars are my own and I earned everyone
You might hope someday that a tiger's stripes will change
But girl I gotta say, that plan don't sound worth a fuck
