Cutthroat Collapse - Emery

And I’ve been so lonely here

I find myself lost in escape

Marked by hands I held as my anchor

But in your shallow sea I drown

I can still hear the trees

At my back and haunting me

Unafraid, unaffected

This has all gone so wrong

Under this December sky

I walked away compromised

Counting steps, of what’s left

To bring this all to an end

Outside you will find the ring that once belonged to me

(Just give me one reason why

Well maybe some other time)

Sharing space with her face

(You think this all is a game

It’s not a game to me)

Pictures on the drivers seat

So now we will both kill the messenger

It’s such a blur

You didn’t even see

This meant everything to me

Invisible, plans you made

Deconstruct me

Tethered to the dream of you

But disappearing

If it’s grey then just leave it

Some colors start bleeding

So guard yourself

That’s what my folks used to say

Defended your secrets

Claiming past loves and regrets

The ambition was hidden

To shield yourself from the blame

Outside you will find the ring that once belonged to me

(Just give me one reason why

Well maybe some other time)

Sharing space with her face

(You think this all is a game

It’s not a game to me)

Pictures on the drivers seat

Your failing words once moved heaven and earth

But now they can’t make me believe

Invisible, plans you made

Deconstruct me

Tethered to the dream of you

But disappearing

Those words seemed so sincere

In this shallow sea I drown

You want to run and hide to catch your breath

(This can’t be happening)

But why don’t you come inside and capture all that’s left

(This can’t be happening)

Capture all that’s left

(Oh, but this is happening)

I don’t want to wait for this

A ruined list, the longing kiss

Making all the moments last

As if we had, the sentiment

Yearning for the sound

Breaking from the crowd

Leaving all the cynics

Racing for the finish

Time runs

Time runs

Time runs

Time runs out

If I should die

If I should

If I should die

If I should

If I should die

If I should

If I should die

If I should
