The House Always Wins

[Verse 1]

I'm cherry picking my life away

I tied the stem with my tongue and said it's all okay

Now every bow of my neck feels like a prophecy

Spare me peace of mind, I crave codependency

I wish words would be enough

'Cause then I wouldn't ask if it's for real

Or if it's all in my head

[Verse 2]

You found yourself in better days

You sold your glass house and pretended to be okay

(If I can't reach you)

Then how on Earth can I feel you?

I've been waiting for so damn long

For my consciousness to make it make sense

Feels like cold all over (And I know it won't be long)

Before I defrost my hands and lace my shoes

'Cause time won't wait on me to change

[Chorus]

Stay for a while

I swear it doesn't hurt

You're in my veins and you're so wild

Yet so sudden and rehearsed

(You're in the atmosphere)

Shouldn't I wait 'til sundown?

I can't even tell what's wrong now

High horse was up in the clouds

I guess I was meant to come down

[Bridge]

Wishful thinking from all that you know

Gives no meaning when you feel right at home

Thanks for waiting, hope you couldn't tell

I showed up just to bid you farewell

There's no running from watching the glow

Leave your body to freeze in the snow

I'm six feet from the edge and it feels like I'm falling soon

Just know that I want you to

[Chorus]

Stay for a while

I swear it doesn't hurt

You're in my veins and you're so wild

Yet so sudden and rehearsed

[Outro]

I don't see my friends anymore

And my best-kept secret's the one that wishes

They'd knock on my door

Tired of not being proud of what falls out of my

Head when all I've got to spares an hour

No less and no more

So that's what Heaven looks like

And it feels like shit

I'll see you at the end of the line

Swear I'll meet you there
