Ripcord

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Time revealed what's underneath your skin You only cared when the floor caved in You know that I, I'd look for a reason But it just starts arguments I'm the candle when your lights burn out Your assurance in the face of doubt [Chorus] You pull me like a ripcord, ignored You're selfish 'til you need me more Now all our trust is gone So if we fall through the ground, right now The consequences still roll out Where all our trust is gone Seems strong to carry on [Verse 2] With what I said, I tore into your skin Mend your wounds, while I stitch my lips It only hurts when the words sink in It only hurts when the words sink in Here we are again: two corners, different ends Hope it's a season, but it's likely permanent I'm the candle when your lights burn out (oh) I'm the shelter when your sky is falling down [Chorus] You pull me like a ripcord, ignored You're selfish 'til you need me more Now all our trust is gone So if we fall through the ground, right now The consequences still roll out Where all our trust is gone Seems strong to carry on [Bridge] You wear a mask when I'm around You lit a fire that my night sweats can't put out, can't put out You wear a mask when I'm around You lit a fire that my night sweats can't put out (Can't put it out) I can't put it out Now all our trust is gone [Chorus] You pull me like a ripcord, secured I was hoping that you'd need me more Now all our trust is gone So if we fall through the ground, right now I'm okay with how things will turn out You're gone, seems strong to carry on
