Chance Emerson - The Living
A blue phrase slipped inside a sentence
A blue shade in a broken jar
I’ve made kintsugi gold, i’ll lacquer the shards
Her bones creak, atlas in denial
Said “don’t speak, just let me let it out
If you breathe the weight of the world, exhale it upon me”
★ pre-chorus ★
But oh god, shit gets away from me
Am i playing some game with emotions?
Am i lost? is there a pattern here?
Like oh god, can’t stop the thinking i’m
★ chorus ★
Tossing and turning, the monsters are out
The skeletons smoke on my couch
Under the covers, i cover my mouth
I scream but i can’t make sound…
Why have i made this self imposed cage?
Good humor can’t keep me alive
If i sleep with a ghost and dance with my demons
Guess i’m scared of the living
★ verse ★
Some love with a cautious flavor
But i love like a masochist
I’ll give up all of me for a hint of a feeling
★ pre-chorus ★
But oh god, shit gets away from me
Am i playing some game with emotions?
Am i lost? is there a pattern here?
Like oh god, can’t stop the thinking i’m
★ chorus ★
Tossing and turning, the monsters are out
The skeletons smoke on my couch
Under the covers, i cover my mouth
I scream but i can’t make sound…
Why have i made this self imposed cage?
Good humor can’t keep me alive
If i sleep with a ghost and dance with my demons
Guess i’m scared of the living
★ bridge ★
I did this myself, don’t have mercy
I left a promise in berklee
She still has my heart in a tote bag
Like how should i put this?
I don’t know why i love like that
If she asked, she could hurt me –
Like if i were a fir tree
I’d make her matches to burn me
I’d cut up my chest, ‘cause honey you know i’m unworthy
Don’t worry, i surely deserve to be
★ chorus ★
Tossing and turning, the monsters are out
The skeletons smoke on my couch
Under the covers, i cover my mouth
I scream but i can’t make sound…
Why have i made this self imposed cage?
Good humor can’t keep me alive
If i sleep with a ghost and dance with my demons
Guess i’m scared of the living
