lyrics

Reach in
Pull out
The darkest part of yourself

I never said this wouldn’t hurt
The pain was all but guaranteed
But for once would you listen to someone but yourself
Otherwise you’ll make it worse for someone else

You’re just a pale shadow
Don’t you know that we can see through you
You look so tired
Your acceptance means nothing

Selfishness
Useful hypocrisy
You’re so afraid of change not going your way
If your word is your bond your inaction is a noose

A page will take anything as long as you can write
Now the ink is shedding
The skeletons dance in the night

Maybe you were told about the danger of taking sides
Have you ever considered the danger of doing nothing at all
I ask myself the same every night
All night long

If you get comfortable
You get left behind
You’re all potential
Maybe nothing more

Reach in
Pull out
Look yourself in the eye
Don’t try to hide
Or it’ll eat you from the inside out

You got comfortable
You got left behind
Hiding all we know, never truly moving on
You got comfortable
You got left behind
So proud, so complicit

First WTF was google music actually throwing something good into my feed. Second WTF was everything every goddamn member of this band does. This and the previous album have been on repeat for weeks. All other music tastes like diet water. Help. Gruso
