The Continual Condition

(album: I Am Alive In Everything I Touch - 2015)

A city drenching me in sin
Atop these buildings we're both sinking as we swim
In our continual condition

You found a way inside my head
And left me hanging by a thread
Gutted out, replaying every line you said, and thinking
"Why can't I just forget it and why can't I live without you?"
I wish I held my ground or I could just go back
And disappear from you

I let you in you stole a piece of me
And now I can't take it, I can't take it
I can't take it back from you again
You carved my body from the inside out
Never hesitated, hesitated
Left me on the boulevard here to bleed

Your eyes had pureness cutting through
They had me breaking my own rules
Assuring me it's okay
This is different, you know we're different
I'm such a mess I've tried and tried to unlearn your spell
Uncross the line maintain my confidence outside
But this pain it won't escape me

I let you in you stole a piece of me
And now I can't take it, I can't take it
I can't take it back from you again
You carved my body from the inside out
Never hesitated, hesitated
Left me on the boulevard here to bleed
(Here to bleed)

A city drenching me in sin
Below these buildings I'm still sinking as I swim
In my continual condition
I'm off the beaten path
Smashing every light I pass
I'm so far away, and the darkness makes me need you

I let you in you stole a piece of me
And now I can't take it, I can't take it
I can't take it back from you again
You carved my body from the inside out
Never hesitated, hesitated
Left me on the boulevard here to bleed
You left me here to bleed
