๐ Lyrics
I hope the journey was okay
But I'm not asking you to stay
Put your luggage down
And let's settle this civil war
You bring your soil to my grave
And even though I hesitate
To be buried deep
Your living fee is to ignore
And every alleyway and open space
You've darkened them all
The mirror says what you would say
When I'm about to fall
I've been awake but can't escape
This nightmare now I'm lost
And if I take a step away I'd lose
But in the slivers of my heart that aren't ruined by you
I live in the parts that you don't consume
You love me now but you'll never be more than a tourist
Go ahead and run my life and everything I do
You say all my wonders are just a ruse
You might be right but you'll never be more than a tourist
And we'll battle in a daze
And leave the bloodshed in a maze
If they look for me
Hope the victory was mine to take
I'm never seeing you again
I hope we don't end up as friends
'Cause I've hosted you
Bed and breakfast too
While you pretend
That everything's okay and you'll behave
When I hide it all
I took the bait, kept in a cage
All that I'd become
You said you'd take a step away
When I learned to trust
Your little game but I've given up
In the slivers of my heart that aren't ruined by you
I live in the parts that you don't consume
You love me now but you'll never be more than a tourist
Go ahead and run my life and everything I do
You say all my wonders are just a ruse
You might be right but you'll never be more than a tourist
(No you'll never be more, no you'll never be more than a)
Feather feet
Whisper loud
Terror reeks on latent ground
War is over
Party's over
But who am I now?
Who am I when you're not around?
I still fly your planes back to me somehow
Skipping meals to skip your ghost town
Identity crisis in this house
Who's a tourist on a land where there's no local?
Are you a tourist on my land when I'm no local?
But I'm not asking you to stay
Put your luggage down
And let's settle this civil war
You bring your soil to my grave
And even though I hesitate
To be buried deep
Your living fee is to ignore
And every alleyway and open space
You've darkened them all
The mirror says what you would say
When I'm about to fall
I've been awake but can't escape
This nightmare now I'm lost
And if I take a step away I'd lose
But in the slivers of my heart that aren't ruined by you
I live in the parts that you don't consume
You love me now but you'll never be more than a tourist
Go ahead and run my life and everything I do
You say all my wonders are just a ruse
You might be right but you'll never be more than a tourist
And we'll battle in a daze
And leave the bloodshed in a maze
If they look for me
Hope the victory was mine to take
I'm never seeing you again
I hope we don't end up as friends
'Cause I've hosted you
Bed and breakfast too
While you pretend
That everything's okay and you'll behave
When I hide it all
I took the bait, kept in a cage
All that I'd become
You said you'd take a step away
When I learned to trust
Your little game but I've given up
In the slivers of my heart that aren't ruined by you
I live in the parts that you don't consume
You love me now but you'll never be more than a tourist
Go ahead and run my life and everything I do
You say all my wonders are just a ruse
You might be right but you'll never be more than a tourist
(No you'll never be more, no you'll never be more than a)
Feather feet
Whisper loud
Terror reeks on latent ground
War is over
Party's over
But who am I now?
Who am I when you're not around?
I still fly your planes back to me somehow
Skipping meals to skip your ghost town
Identity crisis in this house
Who's a tourist on a land where there's no local?
Are you a tourist on my land when I'm no local?
