August Forever

[Intro] Be not afraid Salvation waits Be not afraid [Verse 1] Sweat pools in a coffee cup The heat seeps its way indoors Outside, her clothes stick to her skin Like a clinging lover she can't stand anymore She wakes with a start most nights Dry mouth, his voice still in her ears Haunted by a guiding light Whispers of a place far from here [Pre-Chorus] There must be something wrong with her Lurking just beneath the skin Self-inflicted prophecy (She's picking at her wounds again) [Chorus] Foul vines stretch their arms for miles Covering the highways outside town Swallowing the summer rains Cyclical misunderstandings [Verse 2] Sip slow from a wishing well Tiptoe when you walk through hell If I could hear you Why would you be asking? Get low when the drums come in Go home, peel off your skin If I could hear you Why would you be asking? [Verse 3] Yeah, I just wanna feel like myself when I wear a t-shirt Wanna feel like myself without putting on a skirt Only like how I look when I'm drunk and I'm crying Mascara running down, mycelium from my eyes [Bridge] I can’t wait to feel like myself I can’t wait to feel like me [Pre-Chorus] There must be something wrong with her Lurking just beneath the skin Self-inflicted prophecy (She’s picking at her wounds again) [Chorus] Foul vines stretch their arms for miles Covering the highways outside town Swallowing the summer rains Cyclical misunderstandings
