Flicker

Wait up, I'm running
Over your shoulder looking
At me like I'm someone you don't know
Laid down, you promised
Under the moon you're patient
When you wake you find some way to go

I know this to be true
You're so easy to succumb to

Should've known by now
You like keeping me around
'Cause I'm easy to have
You like getting off on that

Broke down in Austin
The back-breaking straw of it all
Is that you had no idea
It's just so exhausting
Thinking it's something it's not
You still get what you want
'Cause the lie seems so sincere

When the light is gone
Still the only thing I'm choking on
Is every part that you played
'Cause all I ever did is fall into place

And I should've known by now
You like keeping me around
'Cause I'm easy to have
You like getting off on that
And I should've learned by now
You would say the words out loud
Just to break me in half
You like getting off on that

Shadow of a haunted moon
It shines on you
I made you bigger
All it really comes down to
Is one loose screw
And now you flicker
Knowing that you'll always say, deflecting blame
"I don't remember"
Maybe for forgiveness sake, I'll say the same
"I don't either"
