lyrics

Maybe when we were kids we were brighter
Now we’re always asking for a lighter
But we can’t know
So we won’t

I know you’re right that there’s room for improvement
Long as you can keep yourself in motion
But it hurts
And it’s gonna hurt a long time
But it hurts
I don’t think it’s gonna stop

I give up on groping for the edge
It’s stronger now
To let yourself sink in
Give my regards
To the jailers of the damned
Take your time
Cause I am done running

Do whatever you can to feel something
Then it only lasts for one small moment
Pay attention
Before it’s gone

You can say everything you’ve been thinking
Uncover the darkness you have hidden
But it’s never
Never quite enough dear
No it’s never
Never quite enough

I give up on groping for the edge
It’s stronger now
To let yourself sink in
Give my regards
To the jailers of the damned
Take your time
Cause I am done running

Lead your consequences around in spirals
Looking for an ounce of complete control
Thinking it’s there
When it’s not

You can run from everyone you lean on
In search of a new way to keep the heat on
If it’s out there
Let me know
Gonna need
Something for the flood

I give up on groping for the edge
It’s stronger now
To let yourself sink in
Give my regards
To the jailers of the damned
Take your time
Cause I am done running
