Chinese Coffee Torture
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
