lyrics

Hello again
I never thought I'd see you here, my friend
If I test the water
Whether or not it's wet, I'll see the end

Every time I try, I go right back inside
Retreat from the battle lines
But I'm still human
I'll learn my lesson when I'm bound and chained to the wall

I'll be
Waiting for the day to come
Where I can be like the oblivious ones
Sleeping soundly, safe and warm
With someone who holds my heart
But you know me, I'm burning the thread
My refuge is the ash that blackens the bed

The ice, it melts
The trinkets all lined up along the shelf
Are the silent alarms
That help remind me of myself

I gave up on the time, but still I see the lines
Of faces I left behind
I'm snapping my strings again
Replace the broken with the new ones, play them til I
Reenact the end

I'll be
Waiting for the day to come
Where I can be like the oblivious ones
Sleeping soundly, safe and warm
With someone who holds my heart
But you know me, I'm burning the thread
My refuge is the ash that blackens the bed

I wanna be done
With faltering love
The roots are diseased and they
Tainted my blood
I wanted to be
The man on the screen
But it all fell apart, living
Behind the scenes

Now I'm
Waiting for the day to come
Where I can be like the oblivious ones
Sleeping soundly, safe and warm
With someone who holds my heart
But you know me, I'm burning the thread
My refuge is the ash that blackens the bed
