lyrics

In a time bound for nowhere in a life he never meant
started counting out the ways he wished that he had left

The fields dry and burnt where the flowers used to grow
now left dead and undelivered and just waiting for the snow

It only takes a drop of the alkaline to change the acid in your veins
a thousand tiny wounds will bleed you out the same

The birds they stopped to fly when the winds refused to move
he had used up all his reason and knew he had to choose

The well had poisoned all his thoughts it had twisted all his words
he no longer saw himself in that life he shared with her

It only takes a drop of the alkaline to change the acid in your veins
a thousand tiny wounds will bleed you out the same
It only takes a drop of the alkaline to change the acid in your veins
a thousand tiny wounds will bleed you out the same

So he left it all behind, he burnt that house down to the ground
in hopes that where he went was a place that wont be found

But the voices they still follow him, they still speak his name
Can’t teach ghosts to stay away or ask memories to change.

It only takes a drop of the alkaline to change the acid in your veins
a thousand tiny wounds will bleed you out the same
It only takes a drop of the alkaline to change the acid in your veins
a thousand tiny wounds will bleed you out the same
