lyrics

A small diamond of light forms
On the cold floor
I watch it dance across your body
And if I close my eyes
I can almost imagine that I was no longer paralyzed

They ask why we don't leave
But who's listening?

Woke up with bones in my bed
I don't know where I'm going to store all of them
Chasing shadows through the night
When I return laying next to you doesn't quite feel right

Places I go when you're asleep
Only exist when I dive into my memory
My spine is so sick of being twisted all the time but the
Knifes in your back or it's in mine

My arms use to reach further than they could stretch
I'd stay much longer than I'd like to admit
You told me behind shaky eyes
That if I'd been stronger you would've tried

This room is overflowing with shame
Let it flood carry me through the window so I can breathe again
I know I'll be leaving you behind
Tread through the waters on your own cause this body is mine

My arms use to reach further than they could stretch
I'd stay much longer than I'd like to admit
You stepped all over me to build your confidence
While saying I was the only one who could save you from yourself

When I left you tried to pull me back in
Like a force of nature that kept spinning
Obstructing my view of the light
Haunting my movements but I continue to fight
Resist the feeling to submit and hide
My power radiates from what I've grown inside
Care for myself starting at the core
I'm rooted deep in the ground now so
Let it pour

My arms only reach out for those that can
Grow without destroying what I've planted
We're all seeds trying to exist your
History's one of resilience
(x2)

They ask why we don't leave
But who's listening?

Comme d'habitude, j'ai bien du mal à choisir une "favorite track" avec ce groupe de Trashgrass qui excelle dans son domaine. Mais là, j'ai réussi à me décider finalement. XD EklektikTrip
