Artist: The Icarus Line
Album: Penance SoirÉE

Lyrics

Exploding like a laughing child
Situations reaching out too far
Gonna make good on all my bets
Have to do what hasn't killed us yet
Stomach sore for attention soon
I'm alone so I search the room
Put your hand out, let's see what you get
Zero out of every fucked up thing i've done
Saw no sun today but there's still some warm in my skin
Forgot all their numbers but I wrote them down somewhere
When I get like this, lizards kiss and I don't need anything
They say nightmares go away while you're awake walking
Around in the day. but I can't shake these dreams
Show me life. show me something
Shaman's curse got me breathing air again and
I'm not in this body. i'm not in this skin
Soaking up large pools of memory
Casual landslides and secret smiles as we're crashing all the while
Found a new way of life and now I never have to try
No more fake goodbyes
Don't ever kiss and lie
Closing in on perfection
Like a girl on a pole touches the tortured soul;
I try to break what's mine, just try to waste my time
Waste my time
