What I’m listening to...


You're my defense when I'm bleeding
You followed me through hell and back
Cover me in gold when I need it
Waiting for the mourning to be over
But it's all I have now

(You make me feel homesick)
 

At the mantle of the heart
A river flows inside
We drain ourselves in steady streams
Until the river runs dry

At times, these tides define us
Deny us of ourselves
A finite source of optimism
That leaves a hollow shell

And as the seasons pass
And winter's numbing cold gives way to pain
We light these fires to sit beside
As we pray like hell for rain

At the hour before the dawn
The last embers burn 'til day
It's all I hang my hope upon
You can't take that away from me

Every morning in the mirror I see
My worst enemy reflected in me
'Cause I'm a born unbeliever, a cynical soul
I can only trust as far as I see

But every time I close my eyes
I'm who I used to be (who I used to be)
I never thought I'd feel so cold
Until the fire faded out in me
 

We hurt ourselves for fun
Force-feed our fear until our hearts go numb
Addicted to a lonely kind of love
What I wanna know

Is how we got this stressed out
Paranoid
Everything is going dark
Nothing makes me sadder than my head

I'm running outta teardrops
Let it hurt 'til it stops
I can't keep my grip
I'm slipping away from me

Oh, God, everything is so fucked
But I can't feel a thing
The emptiness is heavier than you think
