Calluses (12/23 Acoustic Demo)

Scream into the void, get swallowed by the sound Protect me, give me love, sleep like sound I'm the type who's gonna make your momma proud I am in your town, and I will never let you down I am the moth and you are the flame We'll play the same game when i try to walk away Butter me up once you broke me down You never seem to notice, you constrict what you surround It's just like you to find all my wounds Shove the knife back in to stop me from bleeding Cause when I go, you know you're coming with Kept me alive, no matter how sick Under my thumb and by my side Deep into the night you're deep inside my mind But when the drugs wear off, hold you up to the light You're the drain on my system, you are the knife I am the fool, and you are the jester We'll pull apart forever, You don't notice when it starts Dropped a stitch, missed a step inside my soul And you're holding me together But that doesn't make me whole For once let me go My knuckles are white I can't live like this For once I can't be in control Ever since I was a babe The world has felt so cold It's just like you, you find all my wounds Reinsert the knife to prevent coagulation No comfort, or relief The calluses are all I need Was I another page in a story you hated? Could you spend a day with my trust without breaking it? I always seem to be the one who gets away But not for long When you're suddenly afflicted, Woken up by the smell You stumble in a drug fueled haze Through the hotel I wonder what my mother thought, "You sewed a seed in hell"? Well, that night went down in ways no one could ever tell It's just like you, you find all my wounds It's just like you It's just like you, you find all my wounds, but the calluses are what I need It's just like you, you find all my wounds, but the calluses are what I need It's just like you, you find my wounds, the calluses are what I need It's just like you, you find all my wounds, but the calluses are what I need The calluses are what I need The calluses are what I need The calluses are what I need The calluses I am the fool, and you are the jester We'll pull apart forever, you don't notice when it starts.
