lyrics

Would a promise make me kiss the violence
Would a promise light my fuse
Remove the cuffs and kill the silence
Dissolve my ties with you

We said fuck 'em a speech in a bathroom stall
A call to the independent scene
Pushed to the back of my memory
A promise that has to come clean

I find courage to let it die
Picking up what's mine
Severing the line
Color brighter when eyes are wide
Won't look back this time
Severing the line

Someday you'll find your moving target has settled where we started
Just in time for you to look up and find your game has parted

The grip is too tight on the lifeline
The cord wrapped around my neck
Open the blade and remember a promise I couldn't forget

I'll find courage to let it die
Checking vital signs
Severing the line
Color brighter when eyes are wide
Won't look back this time
I'm done falling short in your eyes
Endless compromise for a hollow prize

Was "fuck em" just a speech in a bathroom stall
A call to the independent scene
In flesh we steer clear of the drama
And watch it unfold on the screen
