Lyrics

[Verse 1] I know the way he makes you hide Even when the dose is fight or flight And the orbits wait for a perfect name Clean out the webs he left behind And if you want, I can bury him out By the Salton Sea in an empty grave The past has a way of comin' clean [Pre-Chorus] If I didn't know any better I could have sworn you said "There will come a day for his reckoning" [Chorus] It's the want of the weight when it crushed All the centrifugal ways our lives fall in and out of place [Verse 2] One day you're gonna see That everybody who claimed that you were loved have left Because one by one, they would disappear Claimin' all your words were symptoms of deceit [Pre-Chorus] "Don't let your tongue slit your throat" That's what they always said This one last chance that you've gotta take [Chorus] It's the want of the weight when it crushed All the centrifugal ways our lives fall in and out of place No-oh, it's the want and the weight when it crushed All the centrifugal ways our lives fall in and out of place [Bridge] Underneath your doubt laid a serpent's egg Hissing his way out You were told (You were told) Severed tongues (Severed tongues) Can't fall onto their swords because You're the only voice that calls [Chorus] It's the want and the weight when it crushed All the centrifugal ways our lives fall in and out of place Oh-oh, it's the want and the weight when it crushed All the centrifugal ways our lives fall in and out of place [Outro] When all is over, I'll be with you Say you will, say you will, say you will I'll be with you, I'll be with you Say you will, say you will
