Lyrics

Out of place and I'm losing
Lines that can't define
Rattling the cage like a criminal
Keys on the other side
Blood on the lens, blood in my mouth
Taste the sick, but I can't spit it out
Calling from the deep end
Invisible when I creep in
How long
How far
Are we gonna push the needle?
Does it have to be so hard?
On longer days
A plague of vacant gray
Dim haze a-holding sway
Does it have to be so hard?
Cut me loose like an animal
Out of time, headed downhill
Cracking glass on instruments
Blood in my mouth, I still taste it
Slip the knot or rope twist
Tick the box or reject
Spit it out, it's a reflex
Give up that ghost or name it
You can just stop
Stop pretending
There are any conditions
That will satisfy
How long
How far
Are we gonna scratch the surface?
Are we only leaving scars?
The stopless grasp
Of machinations past
Knows neither feast nor fast
That will satisfy
A longer face
New skin to scratch and scrape
Fresh façade laid to waste
Are we only leaving scars?
Cut me loose, I'm on recess
Pull up stakes or claim it
Cracking glass on gauges
This needle, about to hit red
Blood on the lens, in my mouth
How bad do you wanna get out
Scale tip, rope twist
Fuck that game, I won't play it
We can just stop
Stop pretending
These contradictions hold up under light.
How long, how far
Are we gonna push the needle?
Will it always be so hard?
The stopless grasp
Of machinations past
Moves neither slow nor fast
Nor holds up under light
A longer face
New skin to scratch and scrape
Fresh façade laid to waste
Will it always be this hard?
How long, how far are we gonna go?
How long, how far?
We can just stop!
