lyrics

Vincent:
Someone pull me down from these hooks and teach me how to crawl
Someone hold me down to the dirt before I climb into the sun
Maybe I just miss not knowing the sharper edge of love

Vincent/Asha:
Do I miss you?/Do you miss me?
Or do I just miss myself/Or do you just miss yourself?
The person I was post-breakdown/The person you were post-breakdown
Pre-addiction/Pre-stability
I used to look up and see the stars/I used to look up and see your smile
Now I only see the next fix/Now I see you don't know the strings you tug
I've never felt so great/I've never been so great
I've never bled so much/At holding on to reality
I never meant to stray/I never meant to break
Into the bramble/Addicted to the gravity

Vincent:
Someone pull me down from these hooks and teach me how to crawl
Someone hold me down to the dirt before I climb into the sun
Maybe I just miss not knowing the sharper edge of love

Pull me apart, magnetic vengeance
Weigh me down, mendicant penance
I am not a liar, I'm just so scared
To take a chance on wings, abandon my anchor

Vincent/Luna:
I must cast out beauty/No breath is free, cast out beauty
Patch up the breakage/No breath is free, patch up breakage
Eject the ballast/No breath is free, eject ballast
Try to find the sun again/No breath is free, find the sun again

Vincent:
I could insulate myself from a world beckoning with tipped glass and smokey eyes
I could blindfold myself to the beauty that unfurls itself in front of my insecurities
I could stop chasing the vapors of vipers, un voix celeste to these vociferous butterflies
Or I could stop waking up pretending she's worth it
I'm derelict on the wrong side of the surface
I've always been mere inches from home

Vincent/Luna:
I must cast out beauty/No breath is free, cast out beauty
Patch up the breakage/No breath is free, patch up breakage
Eject the ballast/No breath is free, eject ballast
Try to find the sun again/No breath is free, find the sun again
