[ Verse 1 ]

Have we always been lost?

I can’t recall a harder bridge I’ve crossed

Restless and endless

You’re most beautiful when you’re quiet

And I can sympathise

The world seen behind the darkest eyes seems bright;

Delicate and deadly

You don’t know how much this haunts me


[ Chorus ]

This was a risk I wasn’t ready for

Another night, another corner store

With wishes I borrowed when I drained the well

I’m wishing myself unwell

And at night when you fall asleep, do you lay happy or do your bones


[ Verse 2 ]

Creek with regret at your life for let?

Like a burning building we reach a slow warm collapse

My heart compacts into my chest and then I’m closer than you’d let me get

“Am I allergic to intimacy” you said “because it makes me so fucking sick”


[ Chorus ]

This was a risk I wasn’t ready for

Another night, another corner store

With wishes I borrowed when I drained the well

I’m wishing myself unwell


[ Bridge ]

Beyond a feeling and beyond a fear

Beyond a feeling and beyond a fear

Beyond a feeling and beyond a fear

Beyond a feeling, (beyond a feeling)

Beyond a fear, (beyond a fear)

(I can’t stop these shakes,)

Beyond a feeling, (beyond a feeling)

(It seems impossible to.)

Beyond a fear, (beyond a fear)

And at night when you fall asleep, do you lay happy?


[ Chorus ]

This was a risk I wasn’t ready for

Another night, another corner store

With wishes I borrowed when I drained the well

I’m wishing myself unwell
