Inextricable

Lyrics: Showing Music: Showing Arranger: Showing The air is thick with ghosts of every word we never said I'm walking through the minefield of the dreams we left for dead I try to cut the wire, but it's wrapped around my wrist A permanent reminder of the moments that we missed You're the static in the signal,you're the fever in my sleep The only kind of secret that I know I'll never keep I'm reaching for the surface but the water's made of lead And every road I take just leads me back to you instead I hate the way I keep on staying In the wreckage of this playing I hate the way you're still the center Of every room I try to enter We're so inextricable, every move a fracture built from broken trust We ache, combust, yet still we chase the fire that's losing us You tear, I clutch— our edges cut until we're venomous Still we stay, in the decay Because losing you feels endless— dark and inextricable I'm painting over bruises like they're colors on a wall But the structure underneath is just waiting for the fall I'm addicted to the friction when your shadow touches mine Like a tragedy that's moving in a perfect, straight line There is no simple exit when the exit is a mirror I'm looking at the damage and it's never been clearer Maybe we're a knot that only tighter as we pull A hollow kind of hunger that will never be full And you're ruin, but I need it Even knowing I won't beat it And you pierce right through my shelter But without you I feel lesser We're so inextricable every breath a tremor carved from broken trust We break, combust, but still we chase the spark that's failing us You tear, I clutch— our hearts erupt, the ache unanimous Still we stay, in this ballet Of losing love so infinite— so inextricable If I unraveled every thread, would there be anything left? If I survived the final blow, would it be life or a theft? If I finally let you go, would I know how to be me? We're a requiem repeating Bleeding slow but still believing It's all inextricable a tether pulling hard on everything we trust We ache, combust, unravel us— yet never call it giving up You tear, I clutch— our wounds erupt, the ache continuous Still we stay, trapped in the sway Of losing love so infinite— forever inextricable
