Lyrics
Dark circles round my eyes and they never break,
You’re disappearing from my dreams, so I lie awake,
Am I just wading through the water? Cause I’m never shore,
You got me itching at my body till my skin is tore,
Show me what you’re looking for? Heavy on my real estate,
My presence faded you went looking for some bigger bait,
The indecision got me hollowed out until I disappear,
But you covered every exit from the city, got me running for the pier now I’m
Diving into troubled lands,
Still holding onto someone with some other plans - but my grip is getting loose,
I can feel it when we touch, give me something I can clutch,
When you knock me off my feet I’m only asking for a crutch,
But the air is getting thinner in the room,
I’ve been fighting for my breath as I’m caught up in the plume,
That’s a smokescreen cover, laying bodies on the ground,
I’ve been taking heavy fire, every time you come around – and I can feel it like
Stop me now, I’ve waited for so long,
Shake me dry, just to move me on,
Bodies, lined against the wall,
Take me down, just to break my fall
You got me out here running in pursuit, diverting on my route,
Defending empty property, there’s nothing to loot,
You keep me hanging on a hook, You can read me like a book,
You know I’m trying to cut the cord to this open parachute,
That’s attached on me, when you latch on me I just fold,
Pull me close, just to let me go, never try and hold,
Got no faith in my decisions, I follow every time,
You throw me empty promises, I swallow every line,
Trickle down, no conclusion but we’re far from the beginning,
I be somewhere in the middle on the side of never winning,
In the fight for your attention, it’s the silence that is key,
I’m just begging for admission, but you never pay the fee,
No approach on it, never broach on it, it’s poetic,
All we do is cover wounds never look at the aesthetic,
Cut me down down secrets on the low, (on the low)
You playing with some bodies I don’t know - and I can feel it like
Stop me now, I’ve waited for so long,
Shake me dry, just to move me on,
Bodies, lined against the wall,
Take me down, just to break my fall
I drown in this moment too long,
Your disguise, is a surprise I got to move on
Cancel me, cast me aside, I know your take on it,
An empty home, ironic, I need space from it,
I found some beauty, but only up on the face of it,
Cover every BODY until you’re losing the taste of it
Stop me now, I’ve waited for so long,
Shake me dry, just to move me on,
Bodies, lined against the wall,
Tell me you’ll let me go
Tell me you’ll let me go
You’re disappearing from my dreams, so I lie awake,
Am I just wading through the water? Cause I’m never shore,
You got me itching at my body till my skin is tore,
Show me what you’re looking for? Heavy on my real estate,
My presence faded you went looking for some bigger bait,
The indecision got me hollowed out until I disappear,
But you covered every exit from the city, got me running for the pier now I’m
Diving into troubled lands,
Still holding onto someone with some other plans - but my grip is getting loose,
I can feel it when we touch, give me something I can clutch,
When you knock me off my feet I’m only asking for a crutch,
But the air is getting thinner in the room,

I’ve been taking heavy fire, every time you come around – and I can feel it like

Tell me you’ll let me go
Tell me you’ll let me go
