Landmines

I’m never gonna send the emptiness away

I’m tired of climbing up the walls

God, I need those chemicals

When I don’t wanna feel it

No higher meaning when my bones begin to break

But if I turn myself to stone

Could I be better off alone?

I’d listen to my head but I’d be dead this time tomorrow

Like choking up the ocean

Don’t set me off

‘Cause I know myself

I’m close enough to broken

So come and cut me open

I could spend a lifetime skipping over landmines

I’m skipping over landmines

Still got a feeling there’s a hell that I’ve erased

It’s like the fire took it all

But I still won’t take the call

‘Cause I don’t wanna hear it

Too busy thieving all the time that I’m awake

I’m on another episode

Where the good gets overthrown

And none of us believe it

Like choking up the ocean

Don’t set me off

‘Cause I know myself

I’m close enough to broken

So come and cut me open

I could spend a lifetime skipping over landmines

Building on a fault line

Walking into headlights

I’m skipping over landmines

Like everything is alright

Another couple strikes then I’m out

These punishments were made to measure

Drowning flowers in the depth of a drought

Doomed to repeat until the end of never

Like choking up the ocean

Don’t set me off

‘Cause I know myself

I’m close enough to broken

So come and cut me open

I could spend a lifetime skipping over landmines

Building on a fault line

Walking into headlights

I’m skipping over landmines

Like everything’ll be alright
