Prompt / Lyrics
[Intro] [Verse] The suitcases are coughing up the dust of seven years I folded every bruise into a shirt you never liked The floorboards stopped complaining since I packed the heavy fears Now the kitchen light is flickering out a long-delayed goodbye You carved your name into my patience till the wood began to split I was the anchor and the chain while you were just the rust Losing my reflection in the mirror you saw fit To shatter with a look that turned my gold into your dust [Chorus] I am walking out with nothing but the skin you couldnt peel Counting every mile like a prayer on broken beads The silence is a medicine the morning had to steal To patch the holes of all your hungry selfish needs I am cutting off the tether pulling hard against the bone Stepping into shadows where the air is finally mine Building up a temple from the rubble of your throne Tracing out a horizon past your jagged finish line [Chorus] I am walking out with nothing but the skin you couldnt peel Counting every mile like a prayer on broken beads The silence is a medicine the morning had to steal To patch the holes of all your hungry selfish needs I am cutting off the tether pulling hard against the bone Stepping into shadows where the air is finally mine Building up a temple from the rubble of your throne Tracing out a horizon past your jagged finish line [Verse] The ghost of your opinion is a cold and dying draft I used to shiver in the doorway just to keep you satisfied But the maps you drew for me were just a lonely jagged craft Sinking in a bathtub while you watched the rising tide I am pulling out the splinters from the seasons left behind Ironing the wrinkles in a soul you tried to fold There is a different kind of treasure for a person left to find When they stop believing everything that they were told [Pre-Chorus] The lock is turning easy now the weight is off the door The sky is gray and heavy but it doesn't feel like rain I’m a stranger to the person that I was an hour before Learning how to walk without the rhythm of the pain [Chorus] I am walking out with nothing but the skin you couldnt peel Counting every mile like a prayer on broken beads The silence is a medicine the morning had to steal To patch the holes of all your hungry selfish needs I am cutting off the tether pulling hard against the bone Stepping into shadows where the air is finally mine Building up a temple from the rubble of your throne Tracing out a horizon past your jagged finish line [Chorus] I am walking out with nothing but the skin you couldnt peel Counting every mile like a prayer on broken beads The silence is a medicine the morning had to steal To patch the holes of all your hungry selfish needs I am cutting off the tether pulling hard against the bone Stepping into shadows where the air is finally mine Building up a temple from the rubble of your throne Tracing out a horizon past your jagged finish line [Outro]
