It's the urgency of the moment
It's like house arrest between sterile walls
And I'm trying to just get the hell outta here
Yea I'm dying to get the hell outta here
Footsteps connect but we regress
We lost the will what followed what's the regret
Don't let it eat you alive inside
Empathy like a hunger strike
Honestly I think we have an emergency
It tried to clot but it continued to bleed
So baby just leave me here in peace
I'll start to shake
And ill Try to maintain my escape
I thought it would numb the hurt
But this whiskey's only making it worse
I'll shed this skin this sentiment
You can find me laying down
Layers deep under rocks and sediment
You can try and deny these skeletons
It will only weight you down, sinking ground
Up Until the bitter end
Is it better to be safe then sorry
Is It better to have loved and lost
Is it best to keep the bodies buried
Is it better to dig up the corpse
Should I stop and let the soil settle
Should I start to try to catch my breath
Like a shark I'm always moving forward
If I stop it will be certain death
Honestly I think we have an emergency
It tried to clot but it continued to bleed
So baby just leave me here in peace
I'll start to shake
And ill Try to maintain my escape
I thought it would numb the hurt
But this whiskey's only making it worse
So here we go again
Our flame is flickering like an SOS
A candle and a bridge
Are burning at both ends
We can't cross troubled water
On our ashes
We all fall down
We all fall Down
Honestly I think we have an emergency
It tried to clot but it continued to bleed
So baby just leave me here in peace
I'll start to shake
And ill Try to maintain my escape
I thought it would numb the hurt
But this whiskey's only making it worse
