True North - Tearing At The Seams lyrics
[True North - Tearing At The Seams lyrics]
Have you ever had way too much to think
Their dirtiest secrets, familiar feelings
But it was never enough to speak out
So now you breathe heavy the air is so thick
It spreads to every room
Covering the walls inside this tomb
Watch the words take shape
What's behind these pretty pictures
That scatter the walls
Dark red marks on his right fist
Cause now we're tearing at the seams
Too far beyond my reach
You never gave us what we need
You can't when you don't believe
Speaking up for what we see
Done playing it off, done feeding the wolves
When everything's broken it's time to leave
(Take my silence as a message)
Every little thing goes back to
The way it was
I think I need a little bit of time to fester
Cause every single time I come back
To the place that I've been
I'm reminded of why I left
Cause now we're tearing at the seams
Too far beyond my reach
You never gave us what we need
You can't when you don't believe
Speaking up for what we see
Done playing it off, done feeding the wolves
When everything's broken it's time to leave
Sleeping on the floor
I could hear every footstep
Struggling to make their beds so they
Could lie awake at night
Trying to forget every moment they could
Til there was nothing left for
Them to look back at
Cause now we're tearing at the seams
Too far beyond my reach
You never gave us what we need
You can't when you don't believe
Speaking up for what we see
Done playing it off, done feeding the wolves
When everything's broken it's time to leave
Their dirtiest secrets, familiar feelings
But it was never enough to speak out
So now you breathe heavy the air is so thick
It spreads to every room
Covering the walls inside this tomb
Watch the words take shape
What's behind these pretty pictures
That scatter the walls
Dark red marks on his right fist
Cause now we're tearing at the seams
Too far beyond my reach
You never gave us what we need
You can't when you don't believe
Speaking up for what we see
Done playing it off, done feeding the wolves
When everything's broken it's time to leave
(Take my silence as a message)
Every little thing goes back to
The way it was
I think I need a little bit of time to fester
Cause every single time I come back
To the place that I've been
I'm reminded of why I left
Cause now we're tearing at the seams
Too far beyond my reach
You never gave us what we need
You can't when you don't believe
Speaking up for what we see
Done playing it off, done feeding the wolves
When everything's broken it's time to leave
Sleeping on the floor
I could hear every footstep
Struggling to make their beds so they
Could lie awake at night
Trying to forget every moment they could
Til there was nothing left for
Them to look back at
Cause now we're tearing at the seams
Too far beyond my reach
You never gave us what we need
You can't when you don't believe
Speaking up for what we see
Done playing it off, done feeding the wolves
When everything's broken it's time to leave
