Little Promises - Intellectual

[Verse]

A dirty feeling like I'm torn asunder

Internal voices try to drag me under

I don't feel much like myself tonight

I've been swimming in entropy

Moonlight and tragedy

But I've been lost before

And I hope I can meet you there

While the universe stops and stares

Like a missile in flight or a dove in the night

You're the only reason I would ever give up the fight

(and he's coming for you)

There ain't no rock I couldn't find you under

I'm in the space between the flash and the thunder

Don't dare think that emptiness subsides

I'm done running from all of me

I drenched it all in kerosene

I'm on my way home

And I hope I can meet you there

While the universe stops and stares

Like a missile in flight or a dove in the night

You're the only reason I would ever give up the fight

And would you even be able to look at me?

All these tragedies and fables - you won't believe

That my mistakes could have been undone

And they named the comet Promise after all the ones we'll never keep

And we'll watch it snake across the sky and break up in the sea

And a little girl left all alone is shaking in her sleep tonight

As a croaky voice of fragile hope coughs and splutters on its knees

And I will never forget that glare

I saw his face in the motel mirror

A father's imminent rage but it's already here

And now the engine is running and tyres are turning

To a different page where the future is clear

And my direction resembles the road back to you

And they named the comet Promise after all the ones we'll never keep

And we'll watch it snake across the sky and break up in the sea

And a little girl left all alone is shaking in her sleep tonight

As a croaky voice of fragile hope coughs and splutters on its knees
