​subject permanence

[Part 1]

[Verse 1]
Are you proud of what you've done?
It's getting tedious to count the reasonings you've still outrun
Are you only proud of yourself when you're brandishing that gun?
And how much can you take before you realise you've flown too close to the sun?
And something was wrong
So I made it right
But how have you won
When you couldn't pick a fight?

Hello, no one is available to take your call
Please leave a message after the tone

[Verse 2]
Maybe I'm not perfect
(Hell, I could nevеr be what you wanted)
Maybe I'm not pеrfect
(But I know damn well I'm the best I've got)
Maybe I'm not perfect
(And I guess that'll have to be enough)
Maybe I'm not perfect

[Part 2]

[Verse 1]
If you don't wanna be the thing you regret, quit holding on so tight
You've only heard like half of what I said
Just spare a little time
This second life in your head
Why can't you let it die?
(I guess it's only someone's life)
You cut your losses just like everyone said
We're going down the line
(And now) I think you see me as less just cause you're on channel nine
(Why do) you always get so defensive when you tell a lie
(You know you only have our lives)
(Take a rest, you must be tired of the trauma that you fired into me)

[Verse 2]
It was never a choice I thought I needed to make
Should I keep coming back to where I learned my mistake?
Was it worth the sacrifice to throwing my phone in the lake?
(What would you do for a taste?)
Could you spare just a second from the time that you take?
Am I supposed to feel like shit when I lay in your wake?
Do you have to throw a fit when your ego aches?
(What would you do for a taste?)
(It's such a beautiful sensation when you're running out of patience just like me)

[Verse 3]
Why can't you just put it together
It's never been worse and it doesn't get better
Or so i've heard, through all this beautiful weather, there's still something to turn
I'll never be your little petticoat jester while i'm breathing in dirt
And you're still running unfettered across the bridges we burned
It's just a part of the etterath and growing through hurt
You know that I've been falling apart
It's getting too loud
Do you hear me now?

[Outro]
(Hear me now, do you hear me now?)
(Do you hear me now, do you hear me now?)
(Do you hear me now, do you hear me now?)
(Do you hear me now, do you hear me now?)
(Do you hear me now, do you hear me now?)
(Do you hear me now, do you hear me now?)
(Do you hear me now, do you hear me now?)
(Do you hear me now, do you hear me now?)
Do you hear me now?
