Lyrics The Innocent Ones - Hidden in Plain View

The Innocent Ones

Long goodbyes and second chances
Forgiving all we fight for, forgetting all we lose
Cause we’re losing it all 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 bury 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 bury 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'm taking my last breathe for you, this life is leaving)
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, so go breathe in
everything I am)
(And so let’s be honest because I am through holding my breath as my lungs
breathe for you)
