All of this is tearing us apart
I don’t know where us or this start
All of this is tearing us apart
I don’t know where us or this start
If there’s anyone near when we collide
We throw them in the middle, they can pick sides
As the plans turn into compromise
The promises all turn to lies
The spite builds up and I can’t get through
Passive me, aggressive you
I know I nag, I moan, I know
But with a plan like this it’s way too slow
In the time it took to get this bad
I could have made this work but all I had
Was the hope that pieces would take shape
And we could watch them all fall into place
All of this is tearing us apart
I don’t know where us or this start
All of this is tearing us apart
I don’t know where us or this start

your body aches
playin’ your guitar, sweatin’ out the hate
the days and the nights all feel the same
your heart’s on the loose
you rolled them sevens with nothin’ to lose
this ain’t no place for the weary kind
this ain’t no place for the weary kind
this ain’t no place to lose your mind
this ain’t no place to fall behind
pick up your crazy heart and give it one more try

She wore out the feeling
With a tender killing
She paid for the blackout
I saw it rolling in.
Was I, was I
Watching over you, or
Watching you fall apart.
Did I, did I lend a hand to hold you down
Or just a hand to hold?
Did I, did I pull the wool over your eyes
Or keep you from the cold?
She came with a warning
She left with the morning
An eye on the doorway
A scar in the early light.
Was I, was I
Hanging on a word
Or was I just a messenger.
Did I, did I lend a hand to hold you down
Or just a hand to hold?
Did I, did I pull the wool over your eyes
Or keep you from the cold?
And every look upon your face
There was an element of grace
Did I read between the lines
Or erase?
Did I, did I lend a hand to hold you down
Or just a hand to hold?
Did I, did I pull the wool over your eyes
Or keep you from the cold?
Did I, did I?
Did I, did I?
Did I, did I?
Did I, did I lend a hand to hold you down
Or just a hand to hold?

You must be living on wildfires
You must be living on wildfires
That’s why your eyes
Are smoke and ash
You must be living on earthquakes
You must be living on earthquakes
Must be why my heart breaks
Every time you pass
Oh no matter how I try
I just watch you blow by
In a laugh
You must be living on front lines
You must be living on front lines
Must be why sometimes
I can’t get past
You must be living on land mines
You must be living on land mines
Must be why you’re crying
Broken glass
Well no matter how I try
I gotta watch you blow by
In a laugh
With all your living on landslides
With all your living on flood tides
It’s a wonder how you rise
Above all that
Well no matter how I try
I gotta watch you blow by
In a laugh
Yeah no matter how I try
I gotta watch you blow by
In a laugh

never stop the car on a drive in the dark
did you imagine the final sound as a gun?
or the smashing windscreen of a car?
did you ever imagine the last thing you’d hear as you’re fading out was a song?
arriving somewhere but not here
all my designs simplified
and all of my plans compromised
all of my dreams sacrificed

have i been a sinner?
a lover, a killer?
cause the world i’ve discovered
it feels nothing like my heart
i wanna escape it
or try to embrace it
i keep re-arranging everything I know
in a strange strange place, lying on the edge of a star
in these violent days, i only wanna be where you are
even fools, they say, can find a way out of the dark
help me out of the dark
