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
