lyrics

See how swollen are my feet
from trying to climb this gnarly old tree
things can change and so do we

a thousand looks, the same old style
tiny lies, monstrous denial
forever stored inside our file

hiding underground
from that familiar sound
when you shout out loud
as if I stabbed a knife in your back
till you come around

I know that look upon your face
just like the silence after the rage
as if it's just another phase

all my wrongs don't make you right
with every grudge old phantoms rise
they've used up all their alibis

so if that bond was strong
where did we go wrong?
or has it been too long
to pull ourselves back from the dark
when we come around

we fight our 100 000 fights
I lose a chip each time you strike
an ache for every line I write

hollow sound of forced goodbyes
stiff and awkward every stride
as if I'm leaving you behind
