The Innocent Ones

Long goodbyes and second chances
Forgiving all we fight for
Forgetting all we lose
Cause we're losing it on 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 bear 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 bear it all

And so let's be honest because I am through
Holding my breath as
My lungs breathe for you
The air is thin inside this room
(I'm taking my last breathe for you)
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
Go and breathe everything I am
And so let's be honest because I am through
Holding my breath as
My lungs breathe for you
And so let's be honest because I am through
Holding my breath as
My lungs breathe for you (I cut myself open)
And so let's be honest because I am through
Holding my breath as
My lungs breathe for you (I cut myself open)
And so let's be honest because I am through
Holding my breath as
My lungs breathe for you
