Lyrics

The Mess

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.

There's nothing here but the distance

There's nothing here but the mess

If you'd have shut up you'd have heard it

You could have put it to rest

I am swelling and eager

I am the raging sea

I have had it up to here now

I'm so tired of your needs

And how does it feel to be on the fault line?

And how do we heal now we're on the decline?

'Cause it's a hell of a long way to fall just to learn to get up

And I'm not gonna forgive you for all of the things that you've done

There's nothing here but indifference

There's nothing here but the stress

These walls are stained with your moments

Something you wanna confess?

You at the point of attachment

And all the things you believe

There's nothing left in this place but a reason to leave

And how does it feel to be on the fault line?

And how do we heal now we're on the decline?

'Cause it's a hell of a long way to fall just to learn to get up

And I'm not gonna forgive you for all of the things that you've done

And how does it feel to be on the fault line?

And how do we heal now we're on the decline?

'Cause it's a hell of a long way to fall just to learn to get up

And I just can't forgive you, I just can't forgive you

I know that you mean it, I know you believe that it's true

So fuck it, you'll ruin it all for a means to get through

'Cause it's a hell of a long way to fall just to learn to get up

Because this love, this love, this love was never enough
