lyrics

Every morning since the accident
I feel like total shit
If not from my own poor decisions
It’s something you said or did

There are these creatures that I’ve been seeing
Skipping beside me down the street
I know I shouldn't let them follow me
They’re so convincing when they sing

Now we’re a little codependent
And there’s no hope or helping
What they’d do to get back in
What they’d do to wear your skin
They pull you over by your veins
Living puppets on blue strings
That’s the price you gotta pay for familiar company

My voice never used to sound like this
They’ve been holding my throat for days
They can all tell that I’m crashing
Too busy craning to step in

And those creatures are in the back seat
They don’t have a care at all
Collection plate wielding grifters
They’re gonna lean on you until you fall
