[Intro]
Teeth on the grind
Clock on the wall
Same dead buzz
Same blank call
[Verse 1]
Swallow the days
Like rust in my throat
Every "maybe later"
Gets carved like a note
You said "someday"
Then you slammed that door
Left me counting echoes
On a cold tile floor
[Pre-Chorus]
How long
Can a promise stay breathing
How long
Till the silence starts screaming
[Chorus]
I’m done waiting for never
For a lie dressed up as forever
Rip these pages from the calendar
Bleed your name out of my center
I won’t hang on to your tether
I’m done waiting
Waiting for never
[Verse 2]
You fed me crumbs
Called that a feast
Kept my eyes chained
To a broken belief
I wore your hope
Like a vice on my chest
Now I’m tearing it off
’Til there’s nothing left
[Pre-Chorus]
How long
Till the rope starts to sever
How long
Till I cut this endeavor
[Chorus]
[Bridge]
[low vocal register]
You said "hold on"
I almost disappeared
Built my life
On a fault line of fear
[piercing scream]
I WON’T BREAK
WHEN YOU COME BACK CRAWLING
I WON’T SHAKE
WHEN YOU START YOUR CALLING
[guitar solo]
[Chorus]
