[Verse 1: Slaine]
I've gone to great lengths and used all my strengths to try and make peace with the past
But my heart's been broken so many times, I just can't keep up with sweeping up glass
There are some principles I hold as truths and I want belief in it bad
Love between us, gotta be greater than these fucking secrets that each of us has
Gotta be greater than fear, gotta be greater than resentment
Why do you we measurе the rain? Seeking this pleasure in pain, I know that that can bе tempting
Maybe my past fucking lessons are so deep entrenched in my fiber, they set me on fire
You tell the truth, I'm convinced you're a liar, betrayal has burned all my senses and wires
My thoughts get erratic and start to get scattered, my soul has been torn, heart has been battered
The rose in the thorn, you know the story is old as the Dawn, but I'm soldiering on, I been sober so long
(It seems, but maybe) I'm still that addict like I was
And I just justify my anger, you must satisfy my love
My love for you, just so relentless
Can't breathe without you, my soul's defenseless
My oldest fences, they cage my trust and my raging lust, well, you rose against it
So dangerous, and just so intense that I can't control it all
I don't know if I am flying a spiral and high in the sky with you as my wings, there's nowhere to fall
[Chorus: Claire Whall]
Waking up blurry eyed
Rolling over, getting up
Wanna see through the blinds
Will it ever be enough?
Waking up blurry eyed
Rolling over, getting up
Tell the truth, but the lies still inside me
Set it up
[Verse 2: Slaine]
That's what I keep trynna tell myself
But you got me so spell-bound
In the past, I always felt down
But I never felt how I felt now
So high that I will never come down
Stay true and honest and promise that we'll never fall
Maybe my karma's evolved, maybe my problem is solved
Maybe these ominous walls so far and so wide are ready to silently fall
It's like the stars are aligned, I got a feeling that's really so hard to define
They way that we fucking and making love is like I'm taking drugs, it takes me out of my mind
I know sometimes I'm out of my mind so I go right back in that rabbit hole
I think that my old habits died, you know far as old habits go
But you know my soul like no one else, my soul can be so tragic, so
When I get lost, you just bring me back, and those powers are so magical
So magical, you hold me close while I'm holding you, choking your clavicle
Open the avenue while I explode in you, you hold my shoulders, I'm hopelessly having you, hopelessly having you
We have these pasts and these ghosts that we both have been battered through
Cope with these attitudes, you understand me
I understand you, we're broken and shatter-proof
[Chorus: Claire Whall]
Waking up blurry eyed
Rolling over, getting up
Wanna see through the blinds
Will it ever be enough?
Waking up blurry eyed
Rolling over, getting up
Tell the truth, but the lies still inside me
Set it up
