More of a snarl than a grin
But I’ll take it just the same
‘Cause it’s the best you’re able to give
Breathe that hot air on me
Like chemical therapy
Searing my skin just to see what’s beneath
And I don’t know why we fight like this
But these knuckles are worn down to bone
Threw in the towel but you wanted blood
Like you’re collecting it for fun
Set ablaze the words unspoke
A trail coated by the blackest smoke
And despite all that’s come undone
The worst is yet to come
Breathe that hot air on me
Like chemical therapy
Searing my skin just to see what’s beneath
Take more than you need
A glass half full of deceit
Pins and needles under my feet
While I sleep, while I sleep
From across the sky as they fall down
Tattered leaves all to remind us now
A forest once rich and full of sound
Now pins and needles on the ground
Now pins and needles on the ground
