lyrics

These wings have grown far too dense
I’ll soon clip them off and fall to the earth with no sigh nor scoff
And all that you hurt, and all that you love will begin to rust
It’s what we’re made of

Be sure to take your wings outside with you
While I stay in watching just waiting for let down
The most beautiful crowd;
Crowd the most powerless crown
But never itself, only its help, only the wearer

Misconstrue, I’m warning you
I'm finding heart in empty rooms
Come to find you, sweet divine moons
And gaze at your stars through and through
And gaze at your arms, slice through to you

So let’s play under the lights
Stay stained on me
It could be perfect; we’re worn out but worth it
I gamble that when the weather gets colder, they’ll be just crickets on your shoulder
Obvious and older
They’ve had enough of this
Don’t be so obvious

The winter has stolen the color from your skin.
So color me obvious and eloquent and delinquent
A nightmare of visions and the reasons and courage
Shocking enough to realize what you’re doing wrong
Time to see clearer
But it's never her eyes, always her dearer
Misconstrue, these walls won’t do
I’m finding heart in empty rooms
Rectify you
Come, divine swoon
I’ve found what is housing my sickness and I’m pulling at the roots
Suffocate, my darling
It’s always been you

Fall to your knees
Be honest, believe
"You will never know what it feels like to be so loved."
I'm sure you'll see

I shook this feeling inside my chest
And now, you're what I can live without
It's so funny how things work out
It's so fucking funny how things work out
