Lyrics

[Verse 1]
These days
I say goodbye without opening my mouth
I just stare into the distance till you figure it out
'Cause I feel
As invested as a border guard
Who's seen too many people leaving
To take it too hard
[Chorus]
I'm too tired to talk
I'm too tired to end the war
And I can't seem to hold it together
Anymore
[Verse 2]
And my old haunts
Each one's a trigger, and I'm holding the gun
Like a perp frozen in your headlights
Who forgot to run
And I'm overcome
By the voices multiplying in the crowd
That's been swelling in between my ears
And growing frighteningly loud
[Chorus]
I'm too tired to talk
I'm too tired to end the war
And I can't seem to hold it together
Anymore
[Chorus]
I'm too tired to start
I can't bring you up to speed
There's too many riptides in this ocean
To proceed
[Bridge]
And though I'm feeling fine
Roughly half the time
There's a fatal flaw
In my heart's design
[Chorus]
I'm too tired to talk
I'm too tired to end the war
And I can't seem to hold it together
Anymore
[Chorus]
I'm too tired to start
I can't bring you up to speed
There's too many riptides in this ocean
To proceed
[Outro]
There's too many riptides in this ocean
To proceed
