lyrics

Heavy eyes and melatonin
One more night to be forgotten
Wring my hands to work the spot in
A blemish I will bear
Namaste, but not my style
No mistaking what's been offered
Fare thee well, or done be bothered
How can I forget?
You'll never understand the way they do
I can't bear the win the way you do
I can't bend the wind

Tentative and arrogant beneath a broken filament
Make your wound and peel the scab back
How can I pretend?
Play your part and fall unconscious
I'll be damned to fail my conscience
Begging you until you stop it
Cower on demand
Bang your drum and march yourself away
I can't bear the win the way you do
I can't bend the wind the way you do
I can't bear the win the way you do
I can't bend the wind

I pray nothing else goes wrong: bare it in my heart, buried in my lungs.

Say the verse, repeal the darkness
I am not a vengeful god, no
Let the circle be unbroken, swallowing it's tail
Had a dream, but then awoken
Had a thought, but then I lost it
Build my castle, cut my losses
Throw it down the stairs
Nothing else compares the way you do
I can't bear the win the way you do
I can't bend the wind the way you do
I can't bear the win the way you do

I pray nothing else goes wrong: bare it in my heart, buried in my lungs
It's not too late
I pray nothing else goes wrong
A message in my gut shot through blackened lungs: it's not too late
