lyrics

Stay home again 'cause you can't move without something breaking.
You have hands around your wrists,
holding you down to promises you can't remember making.
Don't you think it's time to call it off?
We could just sleep here in the parking lot.
Don't you think you're better off painted over the sidewalk?
Your slow pulse and your slow breath, she wears them both around her neck.
But we could move and drink our coffee black in a different state.
We could lose everything and let the walls cave.
There's no profit in the convenience of getting hurt in all the same places.
There's no profit in the convenience of holding a familiar hand in a house that's burning.
