Wire and Smoke

(Verse 1:)

I tried to say it out loud

But my mouth got full of smoke

So I folded up the truth

Like a match I never broke

You were the calm in my chaos

The floor under my feet

The only place I ever stayed

Where I didn’t have to bleed

(Pre-Chorus:)

We laugh, then we bleed

A normal talk turns courtroom scene

(Chorus:)

It’s inches turning into miles

This wasn’t here before

Don’t wanna feel the sting

This unintended war

(Verse 2:)

I tried to tell you face to face

But my throat turned into wire

So I folded up the truth

And I left it by the lighter

You hold me like a promise

Then you drop me like I’m doubt

And I try to stay soft

While my ribs are screaming out

(Pre-Chorus:)

We laugh, then we bleed

A normal talk turns courtroom scene

(Chorus:)

Inches turning into miles

This wasn’t here before

Don’t wanna feel the sting

Of this unintended war

(Bridge:)

I miss the music and the laughter,

I miss the way you looked at me

Before the spark turned into fire

Before the air got hard to breathe

(Pre-Chorus: final, outro):

Smoke in my mouth

I don’t wanna make this worse

Wire in my throat

From this unintended curse

We laugh, then we bleed

A normal talk turns courtroom scene
