We create a new sound to kill the old sound

We open old wounds to flood the room

We create a new sound to kill the old sound

We open old wounds to flood the room.

Looking back, there's nothing for me there

Standing still is just more than I can bear

That outside world will only cut your throat

And your hometown is just hoping that you'll implode.

I'm scared of shadows from my past

They loom large until there's light.

I never thought that I could be happy

I just know I can't admit I'm not

We're overfed, 'til the seams are bursting

I'm still starved for the love I never got.

I'm scared of shadows from your past

They're looming large until there's light

I can see the birds of prey circling overhead

They might strip our bones and I might long for it.

Never meant to say I'm sorry

Just hate to hear an awkward pause

Unmarked, my feelings get buried

Up to my throat 'til I can't talk.

I'm scared of shadows from my past

They're looming large until there's light

I see the birds of prey circling overhead

They might strip our bones and I might long for it.

There's nothing wrong with me

I've given everything

There's nothing left in my heart

I've used up everything.

I see the birds of prey circling overhead

They might strip our bones, and sell the rest for scrap

You might hear my words but you can never truly know

Because these scars are my own and I earned every one.

You might hope someday

That a tiger's stripes will change

But girl I gotta say

That plan don't sound worth a fuck.

We create a new sound to kill the old sound

We open old wounds to flood the room

We create a new sound to kill the old sound

We open old wounds to flood the room.
