CROCODILE TEARS

I cover my eyes on the way down
There's nothing to see but the ground
I thought I was made up of something else
I'm out of reprieve, can I leave now?
Holding the hand that's holding me under

(You'll never get what you'll never deserve)

Hanging in the balance, here
I could've been a better man, but I'm not
Every time I try, I fear it's insincere
Crocodile tears
Had to swing my hope down low
Cause even if it glitters, ain't gold
I know, fools don't
So it goes up in smoke when I reach for it

I smothered my selfish circadian
Pattern of taking a little bit
Too much, too often
I made my chest a coffin and
I tore out a handful from all of it
Taking my head all apart again
Look too close and miss it
Old wounds, shapes that shifted

Hanging in the balance, here
I could've been a better man, but I'm not
Every time I try, I fear it's insincere
Crocodile tears
Had to swing my hope down low
Cause even if it glitters, ain't gold
I know, fools don't
So it goes up in smoke when I reach for it

Every thief in the night
Every stone in your shoe
All of the ache that you find
It traces back to an ocean in you
Every thief in the night
Every stone in your shoe
All of the ache that you find
It traces back to an ocean in you
Every thief in the night
Every stone in your shoe
All of the ache that you find
It traces back to an ocean in you

Hanging in the balance, here
I could've been a better man, but I'm not
Every time I try, I fear it's insincere
Crocodile tears
Had to swing my hope down low
Cause even if it glitters, ain't gold
I know, fools don't
So it goes up in smoke when I reach for it
(Smoke when I reach for it)
