lyrics
I was born into a dark dark world
Won't be long till we're all gone
It just chews me up and it spits me out
I'm born again but I've had enough
I'm well acquainted with this life alone
Done it long enough now it feels like home
It's the safest place I've learned to run
If it kills me slow then it's no fun
She was born into this dark dark world
Got your reasons to turn around
Cause they lift you up and they push you down
And not before they shut your mouth
But her droplets of hair were my spoonfuls of sun
She holds her fear like a mother holds...
But I know hope 'cause it's hung from a thread
Inches from my nose like a wisp of wind
Try to hold it close and it disappears
And you're no different I see you clear
But her droplets of hair were my spoonfuls of sun
She holds her fear like a mother holds a gun
Her deadpan stare, it hides all that's been done
She don't give a care about herself or anyone
Can this be the one?
