Lyrics
Smoke And Decay
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
You’re gonna let go of everyone you love
I'm sick of waiting for you to grow up
Apologising for everything you’ve done
Promise me that you won’t carry on
You are the reason I can barely sleep
You leave an empty space inside of me
Only you can face your own decisions
Keep your head above your feet
And if I ever find the words to say
Your mistakes bring out the worst in me
I guess that I’ve been wasting all my time
You're lost in this moment, your time's running out
How am I suppose to pick you up when you're buried in the ground
And I’m nervous, you're worthless, its thick in the air
I’ve been trying for way too long to bring you home again
Light up the sky with the flames that you have made
And burn us alive
Breathe in the smoke and the smell of decay
Leave us to fix all the problems you’ve made
(Problems you’ve made)
This home that we made wasn’t strong enough to stay
We’ll sit and watch our lives just fade away
You're lost in this moment, your time's running out
How am I suppose to pick you up when you're buried in the ground
And I’m nervous, you're worthless, its thick in the air
I’ve been trying for way too long to bring you home again
