lyrics

Blind the air so thick
On the edge of no escape
They say have faith
But I feel my heart less and less
Just a weight in my chest
Desperation streaks my face
The floor calls my name

Dimming to accommodate the mood
All their attempts hardened my heart to a wrecking ball
Unrelenting destruction to construct
An explanation for what I can’t explain
I cracked my head to handle you with care
Get it through your head

Yet to find the immaculate in the elaborate
The flaws still scream at me
I destroy myself beautifully
I don’t call it secret
But I’d like to keep it to myself
I don’t call it secret
But I’d like to keep it safe
I don’t handle myself well
I don’t play nice
The animal in my body has no ego
Falling tender wolf once again I am bruised
I am bruised

I feel my heart less and less
Just a weight in my chest, empty
The cage sings

A miserable heaven I’ve seen
In only hymns like a bird with light under its wings
Dismantling the mystery of all things
A weight in my chest, empty
The cage sings empty
Trying to speak without eating my words

They have faith, it’s too much for me
I’ve done as I was told, pretty doesn’t please
I hug the walls, I am a tricky thing
This grip is cold
I can’t stand your trust
You believe in me it’s too much
Seeking, leaking things to care for
The meaning in anything
That’s nothing, everything and so much more
And more things to care for

I feel my heart less and less
Just a weight in my chest, empty
The cage sings
A miserable heaven I’ve seen
Gut me and give me the sugar

The cage sings
A miserable heaven I’ve seen
In only hymns like a bird with light under its wings
Dismantling the mystery of all things
A weight in my chest, empty
The cage sings empty
Trying to speak without eating my words

The flaws still scream at me
I destroy myself beautifully
I don’t call it secret
But I’d like to keep it to myself
I don’t call it secret
But I’d like to keep it safe
