it always gives you a chance to run before it attacks you - Flatsound

Go ahead and work with your hands

Form the calluses that harden them

And start molding something new out of clay

And in the dead of night, it’ll take a shape

Just don’t call me indescribable

'Cause it makes me uncomfortable

I just wanted for you to find your way

Without me, could you do it without me?

'Cause you want something I can’t be

So promise me you’ll work on yourself

Don’t waste all that love on someone else

'Cause there’s always something new in the way

Sometimes I make a friend just to make mistakes

So don’t call me indescribable

'Cause it makes me uncomfortable

I just wanted for you to find your way

And I’ve always had this fear that I’m

Not real enough to be described

So I’m learning to adapt to everything

But I don’t know if you want to

Fall in love with a costume

I guess there’s nothing to stop you

'Cause doesn’t it all go back to the way it has to

It always gives you a chance to run before it attacks you

So show me what you made with your hands

I treat the memory like contraband

And keep it in a dark, hidden cave

But eventually, it wants to see the day

That’s why I’m welcoming a wandering eye

It’s the assurance that you’ll be alright

If I wake up one day and decide

That the distance is more like a dimming light

Because everything is just a compromise

Between the out of touch and the stuck inside

And I’m stuck inside

I’m stuck inside

I’m stuck inside

But doesn’t it all go back to the way it has to

It always gave you a chance to run when it didn’t have to
