Close To Home - Drought lyrics
Your rating:
The lies, they tear apart the lining of your stomach But I’m more concerned with pulling out your threads You leave; you’re a crafty machine (and I know where you sleep) But I think I know your insides more than you know that you’re alive But I am just your program I am just coded inside In this world there is life, love, and loss Just ask an anxious lover begging in tears for a simple response But you’ve jaded your worth I’m afraid, And the past is a wonderful shade But I won’t feel it, the sky is falling my mind’s just stalling out Waiting for some coals to shine You didn’t stop to see the sky, There was a darkish red late in the light I knew you would’ve loved it, Knew you would’ve cared But now I only stop to think not of the meaning But the color of all things You taught me how to see Watching your heart bend to shape It’s malleable; I’ve seen it before Anxious lover, hold your chest out, Inhale and feel the pain, The pain that comes with love Anxious lover, hold your heart out, Inhale and feel the pain I don’t know what love is I see a drought, and I feel its heat With the basins dried they’ll start to dig underneath And when the water won’t come they will abandon their books I have searched so long for sound over meaning Where others found passion in the pulp of praise But there’s a drought in my mind, and quench my thirst with lies, They seek an explanation I’m afraid I can’t find
