| [Intro]
|
| (We create a new sound to kill the old sound
|
| We open old wounds to flood the room
|
| We create a new sound to kill the old sound
|
| We open old wounds to flood the room)
|
| Whoo!
|
| [Verse 1]
|
| Oh, looking back, there’s nothing for me there
|
| And standing still is just more than I can bear
|
| That outside world will only cut your throat
|
| And your hometown is just hoping you'll implode
|
| [Chorus]
|
| I'm scared of shadows from my past
|
| They loom large until there's light
|
| [Verse 2]
|
| I never thought that I could be happy
|
| I just know I can't admit I'm not
|
| We're overfed 'til the seams are bursting
|
| I'm still starved for the love I never got
|
| [Chorus]
|
| Scared of shadows from your past
|
| They're looming large until there's light
|
| And I can see the birds of prey circling overhead
|
| And they might strip our bones and I might long for it
|
| For it, for it, for it
|
| [Verse 3]
|
| Never meant to say "I'm sorry"
|
| Just hate to hear an awkward pause
|
| Unmarked, my feelings get buried
|
| Up to my throat 'til I can't talk
|
| [Chorus]
|
| I'm scared of shadows from my past
|
| They're looming large until there's light
|
| And I see the birds of prey circling overhead
|
| And they might strip our bones and I might long for it
|
| For it
|
| [Bridge]
|
| There's nothing wrong with me
|
| I've given everything
|
| There's nothing left in my heart
|
| I've used up everything
|
| [Chorus]
|
| And I see the birds of prey circling overhead, oh yeah
|
| And they might strip our bones
|
| And sell the rest for scrap, oh yeah
|
| And you might hear my words
|
| But you can never truly know
|
| 'Cause these scars are my own
|
| And I earned every one
|
| [Outro]
|
| You might hope someday
|
| That a tiger's stripes will change
|
| Oh, but, girl, I gotta say
|
| That plan don't sound worth a fuck
|
| (We create a new sound to kill the old sound
|
| We open old wounds to flood the room
|
| We create a new sound to kill the old sound
|
| We open old wounds to flood the room) |
