Falsework

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Calendar is open, the furniture's dated If I go out tonight, don't wanna be persuaded Running out of faces, it's a failing structure Go back to square one, and start with a whisper [Pre-Chorus] Saved until it's remade Received but no relay It was nothing but a first draft It didn't have an ounce of contrast Another short-term getaway A still frame in a time lapse [Chorus] It served its purpose, moments of focus I saw the future slip by unnoticed It lives in the falsework and stays undercover I hope my current state can hold the weight until it wants to be heard [Verse 2] Tip-toe over bridges that haven't had upkeep It might spell disaster to bet it all on black sheep Every great idea has a long history And every tower gets swallowed in the sea [Pre-Chorus] Saved until it's remade Received but no relay Yeah, it was nothing but a first draft It didn't have an ounce of contrast Another short-term getaway A wonder frame in a time lapse [Chorus] It served its purpose, moments of focus I saw the future slip by unnoticed It lives in the falsework and stays undercover I a hope my current state can hold the weight until it wants to be heard [Bridge] Nail on nail, steel on steel Construct myself in piecemeal Skeletal and faceless Unfinished empty spaces [Outro] Saved until it's remade Received but no relay It was nothing but a first draft It didn't have an ounce of contrast Another short-term getaway A still frame in a time lapse, oh
