Emery - Pink Slip lyrics

This town ain’t big enough for both of us, So don’t sleep on the things that my hands have done The flora and the fire keep lighting up the distance Careful with your mouth don’t let it run Out of sight, out of mind Dug my heels into the earth It was safe, it was mine, but this is where the way turns Take it while you get it, toss this and forget it As you swallow your seat and son You’re plagued with pride of fathers Long since dead behind you Careful with your feet don’t let them run To question yourself the cursed will stay away You can camouflage, you can lock up and you can stow away. But it is to question one’s self in a hideout to leave the cover, the cursed will stay away. And in my hard heart I tried to block out, and to blot out, and obstruct the clouds. But the shroud, the bell, the blanket and the envelope will eclipse them now. Forget what you left, this part is never easy Standing where the water meets the shore you feel the sun Touch your face and leave its mark with nowhere left to run To hide your shaking hands and words that swore this was the day. You never feel as weak as when the answers go away I was caught in the current, it’s a lesson and I’ve learned it The teacher left scars on our fists I’m the worst, I’m the worst, just please leave me here There’s pain we never speak of, second guess the ones that we love And the last thing you want is for your last words to sound so scared, but you find yourself here, alone and scared Will they leave you here, Will you leave me here The best part of that Is I want it back The best things to say I want to say That all this time I was wrong The water’s deep As they find their sleep And I begged for less But I second guessed That you would come After me (From the hands of my mother to the hands of a girl From the hands of my mother to the hands of the world From the hands of my mother to the hands I see before me Could I part this deep I never wanted to say but I had to And I’ll take your blame but it was always you We left after morning as you called to your name) The past still waits It’s the pain we never speak of To catch my eye, Second guess the ones that we love And I never stopped All the words and our confessions To question I never thought that I should question To question why
