lyrics

Looking through clear glass
Pain tips the bottle back, they should have told us, we should have known
Break your back cause you forgot that moments don’t sit still they flow
When you come to make sure that you stand straight and open the door
Your broken glass won’t stay still, or wait till you choke
For far too long, we’ve let it go

I’ve been searching on the freeway
For the next way out, and the oversights gone too far
I can see it going three ways, before it all goes south
And we’re lead away by our hopes somehow
Take it off for the day there’s another one
Search the beach for a prayer and a gun

This is the way that
Fear tips the bottle back run from the moment
It’s what you know
And the broken that mourn at your misstep and laugh at your dose
When you come to make sure that you stand straight and open the door
Your broken glass won’t stay still, wait till you choke
For far too long, we’ve let it go

I’ve been searching on the freeway
For the next way out, and the oversights gone too far
I can see it going three ways, before it all goes south
And we’re lead away by our hopes somehow
Take it off for the day there’s another one
Search the beach for a prayer and a gun

Just burn it till it’s gone, don’t get lost now
Find a way back to the dawn, of days we’ve crossed out
Just burn it till it’s gone, don’t get lost now
Find a way back to the dawn, of days we’ve crossed out

For far too long, we’ve let it go
For far too long, we’ve let it go
I’ve been searching on the freeway
For the next way out, and the oversights gone too far
I can see it going three ways, before it all goes south
And we’re lead away by our hopes somehow
Take it off for the day there’s another one
Search the beach for a prayer and a gun
