Lyrics
[Verse 1]
(You) come inside and speak upon the broken
love that holds us open
We sped up time for weeks, then all was stolen
and sins sank like comets
hold our hearts on tainted lines
Smoulder and speak as war divides
why did i ask it?
why did i speak up?
awake in the worn night
for fear that I see signs
what did i see?
Why did i ask it?
what did i seek, love?
awake in the worn night
now why did i keep us?
our setting sky that burns across the ocean
calls our losses all in
I’m breaking right
for roads that know they’re closing
hold tight the fallen
hold our hearts on tainted lines
Smoulder and speak as war divides
why did i ask it?
why did i speak up?
awake in the worn night
for fear the I see signs
what did i see?
Why did i ask it?
what did i seek love?
awake in the worn night
now why did i keep us?
what did i keep?
why did i ask it?
why did i speak up?
awake in the worn night
I break into pieces
I break at the peace
Why did i ask it?
what did i seek love?
awake in the worn night
I’ve taken a piece of
I’ve taken the peace
