Lyrics Breakthrough - Sound of Rum

Breakthrough

I got both hands fixed on the wheel of my life
Tank running empty, need to refuel
Screaming at myself, «Be cool!»
I can’t heed it, when I had it, didn’t want it
Now it’s gone though, I need it
Speeding now, both feet on my character flaws
So fast, I can’t hear the exhaust tell me «slow down!»
Seat belt buckled up, heart bruised, knuckles scuffed
Walls, I’m amazed you’re appalled
Headlights on full beam, hindsight’s a fool’s dream
I’m like this new scene, limelight is too green
Our lives got routine, your spite got too keen
Now I’m too lean to care what the truth means
I know where you’ve been, last night had two dreams:
One was the journey, the other the destination
Smash up all the cars in the driveway
I would’ve done anything for you, it’s just I had to do it my way
I say you’re dealing very well, you’re having nice days
I’m screaming in the hell of mistakes made, price paid
Broken and distressed, hoping for the best
You held me too tight, you left me choking for my breath
Yes, top down, boot full, alarm going crazy
Double parked always close to hand when the trouble starts
Your eyes hurl fists, concrete like your rubble heart
Once upon a time we smoked spliffs in a bubble bath
Walk past it, bare feet connecting
Clenched teeth protecting the words I can’t utter
Cut from another cloth, like why the fuck you running off?
Stay still, come on, smash my cold bones into the tarmac
Stripping the disguise from your eyes
You can’t hide from a hider or tell lies to a liar
Treat him like shit long enough though, the flies will gather
You made me feel stupid like my life don’t matter
Three point turning, approaching dead ends
Ain’t no enemy like an ex-best-friend
Three point turning approaching dead ends
Ain’t no enemy like an ex-best-friend
Ain’t no enemy like an ex-best-friend
Absolute indifference to gradual closeness
Conveniently smitten then I couldn’t get no focus
Then I saw we were completely fucking hopeless
Treasured every touch, couldn’t ever get enough
Lust turns to neediness, greediness, jealousy
Empty embraces, eventually faced with
The image I don’t recognize, that’s when I had a breakthrough
The minute that you love them right, they turn around and hate you
Point scoring is boring and I want more than this
Falling was great but the morning mutates
Our sweet nights into complicated days, street fights
Beneath broken street lights flickering like paparazzi bulbs
We ain’t superstars though, we just stupid
Our faces all screwed up, hurling them pissed up fists
And I’m at my wits end, your lips are like carnivorous plants
Cold words go straight to my shivering heart
This is the significant part
You don’t take my calls and my liver gets hard
Drinking 'til the sinking has passed
You’re looking out for other bodies who might give it a chance
I’m just a ship on a vast ocean, I’m the river that chants
We’re moving to the music
But the rhythms we dance are contrary
You’re just passing through but me I live in these parts
You know I can’t help but exhibit my heart
Creep into my thoughts when they ain’t busy
My arms hold the imprint you left on my physical
Don’t wanna make miserable apologies pitiful
Sorrowfully studying photography
From days that weren’t so difficult
Original rose-tinted spec wearer
Started off imbalanced, nah it didn’t get fairer
Within me is a flame, torch still sings your name
Gotta get it ready to pass to the next bearer
It went from absolute indifference to gradual closeness
Conveniently smitten then I couldn’t get no focus
Then I saw we were completely fucking hopeless
Treasured every touch, I couldn’t ever get enough
Lust turns to neediness to greediness to jealousy
Empty embraces, eventually faced with
The image I don’t recognize, that’s when I had a breakthrough
The minute that you love them right, they turn around and hate you
Absolute indifference, gradual closeness
Conveniently smitten then… I’d no focus
Cause then you see you were completely fucking hopeless
Treasured every touch, you couldn’t ever get enough
Lust turns to neediness, greediness, jealousy
Empty embraces, eventually faced with
The image you don’t recognize
That’s when you had a breakthrough
The minute that you love them right, they leave!
