The Innocent Ones

Long goodbyes and second chances Forgiving all we fight for, forgetting all we lose Cause we're losing it all the way things happen Doing all we do to fill up the quiet Break the awkward silence consuming our lives We're spending our time keeping our distance And speaking trivial, and trite And I'll find some way to cut myself open, over and over again And I'll find some way to bury it all And so let's be honest because I am through holding my breath as my lungs breathe for you The air is too thin inside this room I need this like the water in my lungs The drowning in silence, biting my restless tongue Because we're too consumed, too shallow Playing the victims, playing the innocent ones And I'll find some way to cut myself open, over and over again And I'll find some way to bury it all And so let's be honest because I am through holding my breath as my lungs breathe for you The air is too thin inside this room (I'm taking my last breathe for you, this life is leaving) And so let's be honest because I am through breaking my heart as my veins bleed for you The air is too thin inside this room (So go, breathe in the air, leave me gasping for air, so go breathe in everything I am) (And so let's be honest because I am through holding my breath as my lungs breathe for you)
