Lyrics

Keeping It Close

We'll make a scratch with fingernails

Until it's all gone

Pulling at every thread

Stuck in the backroom

So who's had enough, who's had enough?

You lose some, you laugh, who's had enough?

We'll make this the last breath of air now

Burning your hands

Was it worth waiting for?

Screaming to you

Crawling in your dirt

Burning your hands

Was it worth waiting for?

Screaming to you

Crawling in your dirt

Break the bones you call your own

Lost a place to call your home

Break the bones you call your own

Lost a place to call your home

Burning your hands

Was it worth waiting for?

Screaming to you

Crawling in your dirt

Burning your hands

Was it worth waiting for?

Screaming to you

Crawling in your dirt

Break the bones you call your own

Lost a place to call your home

Break the bones you call your own

Lost a place to call your home
