lyrics

my patterns and habits
they have robbed of me
something I cannot
take back easily
the ability to be spontaneous
to leap without looking
and remember what I was dreaming
and where it took me

crack it open
light the fire
I want to forget and perspire
Melt my mind into the grass
I’m reflected in the glass

your quirks and kinks
they have drawn in me
closer to you,
i sink until we’re no longer two
the space between us separates the trinity
between zero and infinity
funny how I remember you
from long before we ever knew each other

crack it open
in the mire
growing up, we’ll forget when we retire
decomposed into the grass
reflected forever in the past
what will we do
When we no longer grow true?
What will we do? what will we do?

your shirts
your shorts
my taste
for earth sports

break break break it
break it break it
break it down for me darling
break it down for me darling

get back to basics
step up and face me
I’m not backing down
And you’re not wearing that frown much longer

i’m not going to play this game with you
of finding out which one of us is stronger
you make the choice
i win or lose
you drew this line in the sand
i didn’t have a hand in this
i’ll deny it up on high
you didn’t ask my opinion
i’m not amused

you drew the bruises
i don’t get to chooses
stop this trap
i’m not falling for it
i got grand, I got grand
i’m just stalling the
curtain from falling

i don’t when it’s coming down
the pity is we both will drown
and you’ll still be wearing that frown
let’s make the most of tonight
if we don’t get to see daylight
we won’t get to fight
I don’t wanna fight

crack it open
in the sleight-of-hand
grow up grow up
in wonderland
turn it from waste into a wonderland

i’m not backing down
i’m not backing down
i’m not backing down
we gonna grow old together
