Proceed With Caution

[Pre-Chorus]
Pieces of a thought are sitting disassembled
Try to put them all together
But my hands, they always tremble
When a feeling I forgot starts climbing to the surface
Every time I see your name, I get a little nervous (shit)
I don't remember if it started this simply
Still sitting, sifting through the shifting ruins of a city
That I ruined with my hubris
Man, it used to be so pretty
I'm useless if I'm clueless to the truth behind the mystery

[Chorus]
What's left of the trees might still be green
I don't know, 'cause I can't see
What's left in my hеad might still be greed
I don't know, I don't know what's real
I don't know, I don't know what I feel
Is it really too еarly to call it?
I'm gonna proceed with caution
But I shouldn't proceed at all

[Verse 1]
I'm starting to unravel
Scattered thoughts are caught in gravel
Now the fire's out
Am I about to take the road I travelled once before?
Close the doors I open
Feeling like my throat is closing
Though I got a frame of reference
Think I never learn a lesson
Yearning for returning to that burdensome life
Yeah, it's absurd that I'm scared to say a motherfucking word
Was I ever really burned by a flame of want and need?
'Cause when I look at where the embers sat, ash is all I see
Plan for failure, but accept what I get
Stare myself down in the mirror until something makes sense
It's been an hour and the doubt is creeping in by the second
Glancing at that open message, wondering if I'll be reckless in the coming days
Got a taste of something when you smiled at me
Always thought that it was something I would never get to see again
Can we pretend it never happened?
That the action taken wasn't hastened
God, I hate my motherfucking reputation

[Refrain]
Sit down, please
I'll calm down, just don't leave yet
I need a chance to prove to myself this is something unique
So can we sit for an hour and speak?
Can we?
Can we sit for an hour and speak? (Yeah)

[Pre-Chorus]
Pieces of a thought are sitting disassembled
Try to put them all together
But my hands, they always tremble
When a feeling I forgot starts climbing to the surface
Every time I see your name, I get a little nervous (shit)
I don't remember if it started this simply
Still sitting, sifting through the shifting ruins of a city
That I ruined with my hubris
Man, it used to be so pretty
I'm useless if I'm clueless to the truth behind the mystery

[Chorus]
What's left of the trees might still be green
I don't know, 'cause I can't see
What's left in my head might still be greed
I don't know, I don't know what's real
I don't know, I don't know what I feel
Is it really too early to call it?
I'm gonna proceed with caution
But I shouldn't proceed at all
