lyrics
VERSE 1
There’s a thin crack in my coffee cup, a scuff received by time
It fans in all directions like a scar from lightning’s bite
I can’t shake off the shadows, but I cling hard to the light
I was looking for a reason why my heart itches to fight
PRECHORUS
It eats at all my marrow, it carves away my mind
My bravery is compromised, my fear has made me blind
CHORUS
It says easy tiger, you’ll get it next time around
Your silver bones, you’ll give em back to the ground
Those easy winters never get written down
It’s decimation, it breaks us inside and out
Breaks us inside and out
VERSE 2
I was born in fever, little-fisted, little rage
I fought through a thunderhead to reach a fragile age
Coughed up all my memories til they crumpled up like shame
They begged to be a part of me and begged to have a name
PRECHORUS
They ate at all my marrow, they carved away my mind
My bravery was compromised, my fear had made me blind
CHORUS
They said easy tiger, you’ll get it next time around
Your silver bones, you’ll give em back to the ground
Those easy winters never get written down
It’s decimation, it breaks us inside and out
Breaks us inside and out
BRIDGE
I follow Ariadne’s Thread until I fall apart
Paper bags for lungs, a broken kickdrum for a heart
I seem full of life, but Mother Nature takes her toll
She’ll take what she wants, and in a way she’ll leave you whole
PRECHORUS
She ate at all my marrow, she carved away my mind
And all my fears were compromised, I left em all behind
CHORUS
She said easy tiger, you’ll get it next time around
Your silver bones, you’ll give em back to the ground
Those easy winters never get written down
It’s decimation, it breaks us inside and out
Breaks us inside and out, breaks us inside and out
