Something Breaks

something breaks and it sounds like breath

we promise not to overstep

help me lose myself in sin

and maybe I can breathe again

 

something breaks and it sounds like you

I’m trying not to turn into

dust that strangles all my light

love that murders every night

 

something breaks and it sounds like truth

I love I sing I lie to you

smoke broke open these mistakes I’ve made

I’ve tried I can’t wield any blade

 

just the one that snaps when it hits the ground

just the one that swings without a sound

and lies right here in front of me

leaves my echo in your company

 

something breaks and it sounds like truth

I love I sing I lie to you
