Hurt Locker

(アルバム： Optimist - 2021)

Close up on your lips
Lying to me
Saying, "I'm with you
Wherever you'll be"
A jump cut to the bed
We used to share
Before you had the baby
And I cut off my hair

What's a life without the consequences?
What's a knife without the sharpened edges?

Did I cut the wrong wire today?
Did I set it on fire the way
Scotland burned in '44
Like I never learned to leave a war
I just keep coming back for more
For more

A wide shot of the aisle
Of a grocery store
Pan down to the crooked wheel
On the dirty white floor
Maybe all I'll ever be is the cameo here
A face the crowd might recognize
That comes home twice a year
And then I disappear

Did I cut the wrong wire today?
Did I set it on fire the way
Scotland burned in '44
Like I never learned to leave a war
I just keep coming back for more

Can we take a walk before you walk away?
Can we try to talk or will you call it fake?
Can we take a walk before you walk away?
Walk away

What's a life without the consequences?
What's a knife without the sharpened edges?

Did I cut the wrong wire today?
Did I set it on fire the way
Scotland burned in '44
Like I never learned to leave a war
I just keep coming back for more
For more
