Retrograde (feat. Oliver Beardmore)

Open the door and let me in

I want to feel part of your sin

You turn me around and spit me out

Let me be your hand me down

Speaking in tongues and speaking in lies

Wrapping your dreams around my eyes

Your silence has an arrogance and your tenderness hides consequence

I think of all the times I tried to play the fool just for your entertainment

I never told the truth so I can't lie

All that I ever want in life is a little bit of fun to keep the pain at bay

December now has come and gone and I never have asked for much

But it seems like recently I can't afford to trust

I wan't your love if it's not from you

(Can we stay here, way past our time)

Feeling my self drop to a wasted fool

I cried to stop your tears

(Suspended conversations)

Holding back fears of all those hateful years

You turn me into something that I can't understand

(But you heard it through the walls)

Flying alone my life lies in your hands

(Said it with everything but words)

I'm picking apart the sound of your voice

(But you know that was your call)

As you say my name it echoes through the noise

(But that was not my choice)

Hold my hand as we take a stand

Into drowning our dreams and plans

Open the door and let me in

We can wash away our beautiful sin
