Powder

Take it all or give it back

Give me reason to react

And you make me believe it

Falling awkward through your fists

Rest my eyes and clench my hands

And you gave me a reason

It needs to be said but not to be said out loud I guess

You stole me again

So take it all and give it back

Feel the rope pull on my neck

And you make me believe it

So give back, give back

Keep the moths at bay

Heap powder, heap powder

Til you drown them, drown

So find the centre of your cause

Pour it high over my bones

And you make me believe it

Every strategy a wash

Every permanence undone

And the days bleed together

It needs to be said but somebody went too far I guess

You sold me a wreck

You take it all to throw it back

You dropped a trail to lead you back

And the heart’s just an engine

So give back, give back

Keep the moths at bay

Heap powder, heap powder

Til you drown them, drown

Give in, give in

If the ends won’t meet

This pattern unravelled

It’s a doused fire, a doused

So take it all or give it back no choice

So take it all or give it back no choice, no choice
