Oops I want to bash my head into a wall again
You're talking just to talk again
To be fair I’m walking just because I should
And if I never spoke of it again
It’d be too soon for you
I thought I knew just what I wanted
But here I still am stuck in place
I never thought that I’d let this happen
But leave it to me to fuck it up
I’d rather crawl or dance or lay
Or God forbid I want to run again
I need an out for love
Don’t want an out for love
I thought I knew just what I wanted
But here I still am stuck in place
I never thought that I’d let this happen
But leave it to me to fuck it up
I never could give thanks to No Face
While he gets a pass for mystery
Oh fuck it I’ll give it one more go
I’d hate to say “we’ll never know”
I’ll take the arrow if you take the line
And end up lesser than
Let me love me
I swear I’d love you too
Let me love me
I swear I’d love you too
I thought I knew (let me)
Just what I wanted (love me)
But here I still am (I swear)
Stuck in place (I'd love you too)
I never thought (let me)
That I’d let this happen (love me)
But leave it to me (I swear)
To fuck it up (I'd love you too)

He rises covered in ashes
And poison still in his veins
Featherless, all alone, and without a name
Life wasn’t always guessing the shade of grey
Up in the air like a two-tailed coin trying to find his head
Day after day
His world was polluted before you got to him
Just break down the walls that always kept him in
His world was polluted before you got to him
Just break the silence that’s always been keeping him
From blue skies
From the greener side
From what you see, only you see
In his eyes
Is it finally clear yet
Or is he just seeing things
Still in the air in his head with a cap and a parachute
And one good hand
A long wait for what could be nothing
All in a day after day after day after day
And it could drive him mad
His world was polluted before you got to him
Just break down the walls that always kept him in
His world was polluted before you got to him
Just break the silence that’s always been keeping him
From blue skies
From the greener side
From what you see, only you see
In his eyes

I never said a word about it until now
I never knew how fucked up it sounded out loud
I tried to push it down and drown it out
And that worked until it didn’t
But now that it’s out there
I’m not feeling too scared
And I finally see that the shame
Never should have been there
It’s funny what love can make us say, or not say
Just to keep things sane
But now that it’s out there
I’m not feeling too scared
And I finally see that the shame
Never should have been there in the first place

Never

I see what you mean by never
I see what you mean by never
It seems like only a minute ago
That the ground was calm and the woods were dark
I didn’t feel the rumble I hardly saw the glow
But wouldn’t you know I damn sure felt it in my bones
I’ve never been so goddamn sure
About a fucking thing in my life
I leisurely avoid the dark hand-in-hand
I’m never at home when it calls
BAM! And out go my lights I’m seeing stars
I’m seeing lines I never thought I’d write
It seems like only a minute ago
“Never” only meant what would ever be
And now it’s all there ever was
Come leisurely avoid the dark hand-in-hand
We’ll never be home when it calls
Let our never and our always walk hand-in-hand
Let our never and our always walk hand-in-hand
Let our never and our always walk hand-in-hand
Let our never and our always walk hand-in-hand
