"Pyres" lyrics

"Pyres"

Look in my mind, I'm feeling like a drug
That don't hit me like it used to do
I'm burning like a coal thrown down in the ocean
Running out of time when I look at you

I'm hanging by a thread, just tryna remember
All the things you said that you needed to do
I'm breaking like a wave strung out on the water
Holding on to anything that I can use to pull me through

I never really wanted you to know
It's not like I was just another darkened door
Holding on to something that I never had
I never really wanted you to know
It's not like I was just another darkened door
Holding on to something that I never had

I'm tired of the same emotion
Just humming like a dead line on the wire
I'm drifting on a wave of cold delusion
It's all that I can do on the funeral pyre

You could've been a wraith or maybe a brother
The city light burns as you walk on by
It's burning like a cigarette out of the ashes
Hanging on a breeze, you see them break toward the sky

I never really wanted you to know
It's not like I was just another darkened door
Holding on to something that I never had
I never really wanted you to know
It's not like I was just another darkened door
Holding on to something that I never had

I'm hanging by a thread, just tryna remember
All the things you said that you needed to do
I'm breaking like a wave strung out on the water
Holding on to anything that I can use to pull me through

I never really wanted you to know
It's not like I was just another darkened door
Holding on to something that I never had
I never really wanted you to know
It's not like I was just another darkened door
Holding on to something that I never had

I never really wanted you to know
It's not like I was just another darkened door
Holding on to something that I never had
