Chinese Coffee Torture - Timeshares

We spend entire nights sustaining wounds

We’ve held for so long

When do we stop, slow down to fix them?

We don’t.

We just go on

And we’ve woken up alone, bitter, defeated

Gasping for breath that we’ve lost in our time spent repeating

So let’s not be hasty because it might be too late

I believe we can be electric.

We could conduct

After all the things we thought we were above that crushed us.

And all those

times we thought we were invincible and found out we’re not.

It’s never getting

any easier

And it’s never been so hard

We’ve never been much for believers but I still believe we can be electric.

It’s not about fear or anger.

It’s not about retribution

It’s not about the things in which I have no say

It’s about being things today that I couldn’t find yesterday

Got to pick up the fucking pieces.

Sometimes I forget it

When it’s bearing down on me and I let it

And all the nights you spent screaming

You thought no one heard.

It’s never getting any easier

And did we really think it would?

Sometimes the things that leave us leave us for good

While it’s fleeting, if we’re breathing lungs with hearts still beating.

I still believe we can be electric
