Emery - Cutthroat Collapse
Time runs out
Those words seemed so sincere
And it’s been so lonely here
I find myself lost in escape
Marked by hands I held as my anchor
But in your shallow sea I drown
I can still hear the trees
At my back and haunting me
Unafraid, unaffected
This has all gone so wrong
Under this December sky
I walked away compromised
Counting steps, of what’s left
To bring this all to an end
Outside you will find the ring
That once belonged to me
Sharing space with her face
Pictures on the drivers seat
Just give me one reason why
Well maybe some other time
You think this all is a game
It’s not a game to me
So now we will both kill the messenger
With such a blur, you didn’t even see
This meant everything to me
Invisible plans you made deconstruct me
Tethered to the dream of you but disappearing
If it’s grey then just leave it
Ssome colors start bleeding
So guard yourself
That’s what my folks used to say
Defended your secrets
Claiming past loves and regrets
The ambition was hidden
To shield yourself from the blame
Outside you will find the ring
That once belonged to me
Sharing space with her face
Pictures on the drivers seat
Just give me one reason why
Well maybe some other time
You think this all is a game
It＇s not a game to me
Your failing words once moved heaven and earth
But now they can＇t make me believe
Invisible plans you made deconstruct me
Tethered to the dream of you but disappearing
Those words seemed so sincere
But in this shallow sea I drown
You want to run and hide
To catch your breath
But why don’t you come inside
And capture all that’s left
Capture all that’s left
This can’t be happening
Oh but this is happening
I don’t want to wait for this
A ruined list, the longing kiss
Making all the moments last
As if we had the sentiment
