I just know what things cost

I don’t flinch, I don’t freeze

I just choose what I keep

Every door you push tonight

Wasn’t yours in the first place

Touch don’t move me

Words don’t break skin

You keep leaning closer

I keep pulling in

Lights too low, room too thin

You want more than you’re let in

You can stay, but you won’t see
