Little black humming from your phone
Thought you were fine, now you know
Feel a dull longing in your skull
You’re tamping it down now
Like you don’t see it stealing time
You want it to be another ride
Can’t afford living with the sight
So you’re letting it burn
I don’t wanna keep dragging it out, taking a knee.
If you’re here, then why would you roam?
You wouldn’t dare—
I would have held it all again
Do you keep waiting for the source?
The snake in the reeds, the deeper hole?
I was all figured
Throwing my soul to the dog where you live
Back in a corner, resigned to yourself
I told you to breathe — it didn’t help.
Could’ve been different, now just another call cleaning the mess
You don’t wanna feel taken apart
You wanted to heal
We were home blacking it out,
All of the marks never amounting.
It’s a long walk back to the gift
With someone to meet and nothing to fear
I could write it all in a song
You would’ve laughed
You were the best at outrunning yourself
