Lyrics

[Verse 1] There's a thin crack in my coffee cup, a scuff received by time Fans in all directions like a scar from lightning's bite I can't shake off the shadows, but I cling hard to the light I was looking for a reason while my heart itches to fight [Pre-Chorus] It eats at all my marrow It carves away my mind My bravery is compromised My fear has made me blind [Chorus] Sit easy, tiger, you'll get it next time around Your silver bones, you'll give them back to the ground Those easy winters never get written down It's decimation, it breaks us inside and out Breaks us inside and out [Verse 2] I was born in fever, little fists and little rage I fought through a thunderhead to reach a fragile age Carved up all my memories 'til they crumpled up like shame They begged to be a part of me and begged to have a name [Pre-Chorus] It ate at all my marrow It carved away my mind My bravery is compromised And fear it made me blind [Chorus] Sit easy, tiger, you'll get it next time around Your silver bones, you'll give them back to the ground Those easy winters never get written down It's decimation, it breaks us inside and out [Bridge] Breaks us inside and out Breaks us inside and out Breaks us inside and out Breaks us inside and out Breaks us inside and out [Verse 3] I follow Ariadne's thread until I fall apart Paper bags for lungs, a broken kickdrum for a heart I seem full of life, but Mother Nature takes her toll And she'll take what she wants and in her way she'll leave you whole [Pre-Chorus] She ate at all my marrow She carved away my mind And all my fears were compromised I left them all behind [Chorus] Sit easy, tiger, you'll get it next time around Your silver bones, you'll give them back to the ground Those easy winters never get written down It's decimation, it breaks us inside and out [Outro] Breaks us inside and out Breaks us inside and out
