The Innocent Ones

Long goodbyes and second chances
 Forgiving all we fight for
 Forgetting all we lose
 Cause we're losing it on the way things happen
 Doing all we do to fill up the quiet
 Break the awkward silence consuming our lives
 We're spending our time keeping our distance
 And speaking trivial and trite
 And I'll find some way to cut myself open
 Over and over again
 And I'll find some way to bear it all
 And so let's be honest because I am through
 Holding my breath as
 My lungs breathe for you
 The air is too thin inside this room
 I need this like the water in my lungs
 The drowning in silence
 BIting my restless tongue
 Because we're too consumed, too shallow
 Playing the victims, playing the innocent ones
 And I'll find some way to cut myself open
 Over and over again
 And I'll find some way to bear it all
 And so let's be honest because I am through
 Holding my breath as
 My lungs breathe for you
 The air is thin inside this room
 (I'm taking my last breathe for you)
 And so let's be honest because I am through
 Breaking my heart
 As my veins bleed for you
 The air is too thin inside this room
 So go breathe in the air
 Leave me gasping for air
 Go and breathe everything I am
 And so let's be honest because I am through
 Holding my breath as
 My lungs breathe for you
 And so let's be honest because I am through
 Holding my breath as
 My lungs breathe for you (I cut myself open)
 And so let's be honest because I am through
 Holding my breath as
 My lungs breathe for you (I cut myself open)
 And so let's be honest because I am through
 Holding my breath as
 My lungs breathe for you
