lyrics

Polarized ends, we persist
Withered or not, we insist
Poisoned or not, we while the hours
Until we end it all

Head down the road
As we dare attempt to grow
And let drivers go past
And they'll break down
Cuz nothing lasts
Oh no

When the horizon breaks
You'll see my hands, palms up, shivering
We can't suspend impending weight
We'll end it all, this sutured state
Darlin, hey, wait, darlin

Hang on for life
Pretend that you came home last night
Pretend that everything's alright

But you lost your grip
Now we fall
Leave me out of it all
One hand slips, now we fall
Push me out of it all
Lost your grip, now we fall
Cut me out of it all
Both hands slipped, now we fall

See now what we missed before
Scenes lost shot behind the door
Somehow figures don't add up
Seems like there should be one more
