Lyrics

(M-m-m-m-m-m money on the mix)
(Dyce MusiQ on the track)
Trace the chalk lines 'round the space I crave
Building monuments to the quiet I save
You're a floodlight in a room meant for sleep
And I've got promises I made to myelf that I have to keep
The air gets thin when you're standing too close
I'm the ghost of a host who's had more than most
But I'm so confused
Through all the pain and suffering
You still wanna stay with me
I'm tired of this baby, we are not meant to be
I'm a lock without a key
I'm not the version that you want to see
I'm reaching for the quiet, I'm searching for the still
Your heart is not my hunger, your love is not my will
I'm letting go of us, I'm drawing back the line
You were never truly meant to be a part of mine
I'm stronger in the static, I'm better off alone
You're better as a stranger than someone upon my throne
Stop trying to anchor a ship that wants to sink
To the bottom of the black, past the edge of the brink
You offer a hand like it's a silver thread
But I'd rather weave the shadows instead
There's no "us" in the way that I breathe
I'm finally finding the courage to leave
I need to be alone now, i need to be alone
Im better by myself, cause we dont get along
My hearts an empty house, but you cant make it your home
Return to sender you're not where I belong
It's not a tragedy, it's a restoration
A clean break from this forced vibration
Don't call me a harbor, don't call me a prize
I'm just the dust that's clearing from your eyes
Pack up the warmth, take back the light
I'm sorry I made you think I was the prize
I'm a lock without a key
I'm not the version that you want to see
I'm reaching for the quiet, I'm searching for the still
Your heart is not my hunger, your love is not my will
I'm letting go of us, I'm drawing back the line
You were never truly meant to be a part of mine
I'm stronger in the static, I'm better off alone
You're better as a stranger than someone upon my throne
The door is a heavy click
The clock is a steady tick
No more borrowed skin
Let the empty in
Better on my own
Better when you're gone
