Toss The Match

(album: Coast Is Clear - 2022)

We're having a tough time
Remembering what this is all about

Set it off
Set it off

Gas me up before you toss the match
You think you're family
That's cuz you never asked
You want to keep pushing
Well I got strings attached
You kill 'em with a smile
Well I see through your mask
You can't bring me up
But leave me out of the conversation
You can talk your shit
Come on filter the equation
Skeletons in your closet
You better get in front of 'em
Better start running boy
Before you become one of 'em

I can't take anymore
You take me for granted
You finally see I'm onto
Something nothing new
After all we've been through
Haven't sniffed out a clue
Sick of picking myself up off the floor
You take me for granted
I'm stronger now
That you're not by my side
Doesn't matter what I want
Cuz my hands are tied

Following
Fall in to me
(Lose your place in line)
Your wishful eye
Staring through again

Because of you
The chains have rust
Invert the crux
Hollow crucifix
Pray for us
Every drop I bleed
I know you're on to me
Somewhere in between
Olly olly oxen free
Every single time
We're descending out of lines
Seconds count but minutes lost
Mother fuck-it never mind
My path has shown there's nothing left but lies
I cannot break the cycle
Matters not how hard I try

Where the fuck were you
When I needed you
Feeling deja vu
Left me with an empty room
So fuck you

Following
Fall in to me
(Lose your place in line)
Your wishful eye
Staring through again

When it cuts too deep to burn
Will you bleed just to numb the hurt
When the veins run cold
Will you drown in the fire below
Till I'm six feet
Deep
What good has it ever done
No love
No one to
Grieve
Leave
Swing the guillotine

Following
Gas me up before you toss the match
Gas me up before you toss the match
Fall into me
Gas me up before you toss the match
Gas me up before you toss the match
