I’ve said it once, you’ve laid the bounds
Run, run into a place you know you’d never be found
Those knots in hand were tied somehow
Breathe, breathing in straight lines, confined, drive further out now
Wander in a daze, you'll be fine, just keep walking that line
(Counting down my time, I'll be fine, loose ends tied, alright)
Further than you've flied, where was I? I beg you, stay inside
(Couldn't pay my time, I'll be fine, I let my vice pull tight)
They’ve long gone, but I’m still watching you
I’ve moved on, but I'm still holding you
I thought you said you’d leave those backwoods, don't you recount?
But all I see's your silhouette six feet off the ground
I’ve said it once, you’ve walked the town
Run, running from a place you know you'd never get out
Those nights in bed ‘neath salted shrouds
Beat, beating down those walls around, we're headin' home now
Marking letters left in drawers
Maybe better, maybe worse
‘Stared outside the window, folding into intoxicated people
Flooding, suffocate in floors
Leaving keys in open doors
Fibers burning sinew, if only I knew, if only I knew
Said I’m done, but I’m still watching you
I’m crawled on, but I'm still calling you
I thought you planned to take it back, head homeward by now
But still, that choice around your neck is beating too loud
(Counting down my time, I'll be fine, loose ends tied, alright
Couldn't pay my time, I'll be fine, I let my vice pull-)
They’ve long gone, but I’m still watching you
I’ve moved on, but I'm still holding you
I thought you said you’d leave those backwoods buried by now
But all I see’s a silhouette standing upon the ground
I've held on, but I’ll still wait with you
I’m long gone, but they'll still look for you
The faces blur, our lungs still hurt, in for the long haul
Still, if I know you survived, it'd been nothing at all
