lyrics

VERSE
I'm seeing redemption
For a lifetime of crime
Too petty to punish
But it took my time

How far are you willing
To drive the line
A second of living
For a lifetime behind

BRIDGE
Know my limits
Know my time
It happens with reason
Even if I'm blind

VERSE
I'm traveling with baggage
But it's not seen
Just a thousand cuts
For the things I believed

BRIDGE
Some call it magic
But it's just a habit
Boring right down into you

Songs from the galley
Returns a tally
It beats a path right out of you

CHORUS
It brings the stars out
Two, seven call out
Rings the bell to entice you

Some kind of mind game
Fossilized point drain
Dogs it's score from flesh for you

BREAK
Putting my things down
I'm feeling shook round
Does anyone have room for me

Pulling the sheets down
First time the world's round
Found a whole new part of me

BRIDGE
It's automatic
Face full of static
It pulls the life from you

Waiting for liftoff
Drowned in the gift shop
Someone tell me what to do

CHORUS
It gets my shirt off
Tangling words off
Shaking like it's part of me

Skipping heartbeat
Then it grabbed me
Laid my head down next to you

Laid my head down next to you
