"Pulse" lyrics

Is it worth it?
Is it worth it anymore?
Are we searching for a pulse?

Pack it up
It's been fun
But I'm afraid it's come undone
I knew love packed a punch
Didn't think that it'd draw blood

And now we're all tied at the end of the round
We put up a hard fight, but we're missing some teeth
So blink twice if you're seeking an out
And I'll fall to your feet
And we can fake it 'til the cycle repeats

I swear I'm trying to change
But I put myself in the way every day
Striking a match in the rain
Praying it kindles the flame
But it's always the same

Take a breath
Make amends
The foundation is strong but bent
Start again
Place your bets
Play the cards you've always kept

I'm a fraud, I'm a mess
I'm a fraud, I'm a mess
Everything you swore you'd left
There's a choir in your chest
There's a choir in your chest
How did I become so deaf?
And will I ever hear it singing again?

I swear I'm trying to change
But I put myself in the way every day
Striking a match in the rain
Praying it kindles the flame
But it's always the same
Is it worth it?
Is it worth it anymore?
Are we searching for a pulse?
I put myself in the way

Is it worth it to keep searching for a pulse?
Like pulling blood from a stone
But I'd do it over again 'til I know

I swear I'm trying to change
But I put myself in the way every day
Striking a match in the rain
Praying it kindles the flame
But it's always the same
Is it worth it?
Is it worth it anymore?
Are we searching for a pulse?
I put myself in the way
