Counterparts - Collapse lyrics

rate me

Back pedalin' into the black

But I can still make out the figures

That will threaten my well-bein'

The wind will rise and fall

But neva sway from side to side

Progression halted, encapsulatin' the fluid weave of death

Like a garden that contains all of its arrested offsprin'

We’re afraid to force our legs to break free from the earth

And take the first step towards our insecurity

Sleep away ur selfishness, slip into collapse

A still like state of disregard

From which u can’t fall back

You neva fully moved me

I’ve been embedded in the dust

And my mind has been ravaged by war

Pray for farewell as if I was urs to lose

I would luv to luv u, if u were someone else

So forgive me for bein' unresponsive

I’m sure it’s hard to train ur ears

To hear me cryin' out for help

With my lips sewn shut by the stitches of my own indecision

So I’ll speak in whispers to permit my throat relief

I bite my tongue

Fill my mouth with blood

And swallow enough to kill me

Before I’m forced to lose more sleep

So I’ll speak in whispers to permit my throat relief

I bite my tongue

Fill my mouth with blood

And swallow enough to kill me

I would luv to luv u

If u were someone else

Am I fit to walk alone again

Or will u save me from myself?

Breathe life into me

Be all that I can see

Or carry on without me

And just know I wished u well
