lyrics

[VERSE]
I peel away
But you read my skin like braille
I feel the tremors through the
Fractals you exhale
I stop my heart
But you never miss a beat
Dragged us diving through the
Currents of the sheets

[CHORUS]
And I got seas of trauma sleepin'
And they're breathin' through the cracks
And I lie lie lie lie lie
And I lie lie lie lie lie
So when you say that you're in love
My hands are full of anchored burdens
And I lie lie lie lie lie
From the bottom watched you rise
Until you're gone
(And I lie lie lie lie lie)

[VERSE]
I slip beneath
Familiar chill at last
A million pounds of midnight
Holding me intact
Come up for air
And heard you beg and plead
If losing chains means letting go
I'd rather sink

[CHORUS]
And I got seas of trauma sleepin'
And they're breathin' through the cracks
And I lie lie lie lie lie
And I lie lie lie lie lie
So when you say that you're in love
My hands are full of anchored burdens
And I lie lie lie lie lie
From the bottom watched you rise
Until you're gone
Until you're gone
Until you're gone
Oh not until you're gone

[CHORUS]
And I got seas of trauma sleepin'
And they're breaking through the cracks
And I lie lie lie lie lie
And I lie lie lie lie lie
So when you say that you're in love
My hands are full of anchored burdens
And I lie lie lie lie lie
From the bottom watched you rise
Until you're gone
