The knocking will get louder
Until I let it in
The feeling I’ve avoided
Will slowly creep back in
I’m tethered to the sunlight
The rain will fall again
I’m on the outside wilting
This body can’t be mine

Oh love, you’ve been so quiet
Why do you look so sad
I never meant to hurt you
Or do you quite like that

It only seems like a season ago
I had you with me
And your hands on my throat
We had a winter breeze in Arizona, love

It only seems like a season ago
I had you with me
And your hands on my throat
We had a winter breeze in Arizona, love

hands on my throat

LYRICS

the rain, will surely fall again some other day
it's hard to say, cause we'll move states
and wonder how we've been on saturdays
there's a lot on your plate

it seems like yesterday
home was where the heart was all the same
there's a lot to say to you again

i'm an accumulation of everyone i love
so go ahead, give it up

you say that you're leaving, you're sick of this town
the checks never come in, when they do, they bounce
we're alive at the same time, turn that frown upside down (:
'cause god only knows when we'll see things turn around

the fate, of loving someone just to seperate
it's a lot to take, and take it does

i'm an accumulation of everyone i love
so go ahead, give it up

you say that you're leaving, you need a way out
if it's up to me, then i would say just back out
we're alive at the same time, there's no reason to pout (:
'cause god only knows what life on earth is about

leave me out of it - chemicalfarm 

lyrics:

hospital beds and a four leaf clover
pray to the deity this isn’t over
business transactions outside of the culvers
we would get closer, but you just seemed colder
oh, i’ll let you go

leave me out of it, out of it
feels like there’s nothing left
that i can give to you
i’m done wasting time
i’m worried about yours
but what about mine?

(epic guitar solo)

feelings will fade when the summer time’s over
flowers will wilt when the winter gets closer
all of the nights spent wishing i could hold her
factory love with a heart so corroded
oh, i let you go

leave me out of it, out of it
feels like there’s nothing left
that i can give to you
i’m done wasting time
i’m worried about yours
but what about mine?

i’m worried about yours, but what about mine?
i’m worried about yours, but what about mine?
what about mine? what about mine?
what about mine? what about mine?
(i let you go)
leave me out of it, out of it
leave me out of it, out of it
leave me out of it, out of it
leave me be, tonight

let you go!

leave me out of it

corner of warner - chemicalfarm

lyrics:

standing on the corner of warner
waiting for that light to change
even though it's not important
you cross my thoughts like every day

watch all of the lights grow warmer
i walk across to circle k
i get mint juul pods and redbull
but i know that i'll feel the same

do i ever cross your mind like i'm crossing the street?
whatever goes up must come down is how it seems

why am i surprised?
i do this every night
my body's been through turmoil
and i wish that i could be normal
again
i'll play pretend until it's over, once again

standing on the corner of warner
waiting for my life to change
even though life's not that gorgeous
i see the beauty every day

my whole life no diagnosis
but i can't help being this way
i take my meds as directed
'cause i know that i'll be okay

why am i surprised?
i do this every night
my body's been through turmoil
and i wish that i could be normal
again
i'll play pretend until it's over, once again

standing on the corner of warner
thankful that my life's this way
vices that would kill me slowly
just like the cars, they fade away

traffic laws keep things in motion
and gravity keeps things in place
if i get hit on my way home
just know i passed in solace, okay? okay :)

corner of warner

Fell asleep and woke again to whispers
Your fingertips are tethered to my hand
Every day would call for celebration
If you would give my weary arms a rest

How the tides churn
Old enough to know that’s how it works
How I do my best to understand you
How you do your best to comfort me

Baby, do you hear the voices whisper?
You could never put a label down
Bambi, let’s not fill the void with anger
Settle it, cause we both know deep down
By now, we’ll come around

Purgatory feels like a hallway
Your fingernails are tethered to my head
Darling I could be there for you always
If you would give my weary heart a rest

How the roads turn
Young enough to not care how it works
How you do your best to understand me
How I do my best to comfort you

Baby, do you hear the voices whisper?
You could never put a label down
Bambi, let’s not fill the void with anger
Settle it, cause we both know deep down

whispers

A notes page with a paragraph
That I can’t bare to read
Allude to it in conversation
You play hard to keep
Underwhelm my expectation
So I set you free
Flamethrower lover, 
A friends not what I need

Bite your tongue
Tell me what I’m like
A trail of bread crumbs
Into a goodbye

When I met your father
On the seventh wearing fleece
The sweater you picked out
At goodwill made in Italy
Intuitive & introspective
Naive & nineteen
Flamethrower lover,
Why do this to me?

Bite your tongue
Tell me what I’m like
A trail of crumbs
Into a goodbye

naive & nineteen

Both of us are much too passive
Focused on the time that’s passing
Over & over
Love inside your mindless actions 
Thinking about your endless passion
Over & over
If you need a sign to send a message
This is that, don’t ever question
How I love her

I’ve been stuck in limbo for a month or two
Without you
Alone

I’ve been trapped in purgatory
Are you too?
I reach out to you in song

Tell me if you’ve been alright
As I teeter on the borderline
Structure, structure
Planted seeds & more red wine
Brown doe eyes like Coraline
Structure, structure
Can you ease my restless mind
In need of something more divine
Than benefits, relationships

I’ve been stuck in limbo for a month or two
Without you
Alone

I’ve been trapped in purgatory
Are you too?
I reach out to you in song

stuck

Water leakage from the faucet creates a wishing well
Had a penny, then I lost it wishing for herself

All I’d need is right here in front of me

Crush, crush, crush
Everything in front of me gets
Crush, crush, crushed
All the tiny memories get
Crush, crush, crushed
You can blame it all on me, ‘cause I’m
Fucked up, huh?

Everything I touch just falls apart

After all the water damage I hope she’s doing swell
Had a dream, and then I lost it reaching for her belt

All I’d need is her sitting here with me

Crush, crush, crush
Everything in front of me gets
Crush, crush, crushed
All the tiny memories get
Crush, crush, crushed
You can blame it all on me, ‘cause I’m
Fucked up, huh?

Everything I touch just falls apart

crush

Tethered in separation
Newfound desperation
Thru me, thru the moon
It’s in my imagination 
In a perfect situation 
With me, is you

You cut right thru me
With rusty spoons
You make me blue, baby
You cut right thru

(You cut right thru
You cut right thru, oh yes you do
You cut right thru, you cut right thru)

Smothered by medication
Newfound inspiration
Thru me, thru you
It’s all an amalgamation
With a big stipulation
For me, from you

You cut right thru me
With rusty spoons
You make me blue, baby
You cut right thru
You cut right thru me
With rusty spoons
You make me blue, baby
You cut right thru

(You cut right thru
You cut right thru, oh yes you do
You cut right thru, you cut right thru)

cut right thru

There I stand with shaky hands
Tip over an hourglass
The seconds and the hours pass
But it takes too long
I give way too much too fast
Cus mama said good things don’t last
Enjoy it while it’s in your grasp
She said
If you set something free
And it returns, it’s yours to keep
Take me with, wherever you go
When you’re not here, I lose control
Too depressed to leave my bed
I’ve constructed a rats nest
Of loneliness and bitterness 
But I carry on
Secrets that don’t need confessed
Tearing at my wounded flesh
Bottle up this emptiness
Like truth
If you set something free
And it returns, it’s yours to keep
Take me with, wherever you go
When you’re not here, I lose control
Take me with, wherever you go
When you’re not here, I lose control
