Trying not to die is so taxing
You take a breath just to let it out again
Waking up is an exercise in trust
That you’re gonna find something to hold close
In a moonless night i wait for your ghost
Oh, how we put the days away
We just dance beneath a sea of snakes
We can bury our heads
In our rooms, in our beds
Until we see those days again
Trying to move on is so taxing
Just stacking up all those failures and accidents
We’ve thrown our weight on a mountain of mistakes
I’ve watched in the dark and counted them all
In a moonless night i wait for your call
Oh, how we put the days away
We just dance beneath a sea of snakes
We can bury our heads
In our rooms, in our beds
We can bury our lungs
Beneath songs we have sung
And we can bury our limbs
Underneath all these hymns
Until we see those days again
You take a breath just to let it out again
Waking up is an exercise in trust
That you’re gonna find something to hold close
In a moonless night i wait for your ghost
Oh, how we put the days away
We just dance beneath a sea of snakes
We can bury our heads
In our rooms, in our beds
Until we see those days again
Trying to move on is so taxing
Just stacking up all those failures and accidents
We’ve thrown our weight on a mountain of mistakes
I’ve watched in the dark and counted them all
In a moonless night i wait for your call
Oh, how we put the days away
We just dance beneath a sea of snakes
We can bury our heads
In our rooms, in our beds
We can bury our lungs
Beneath songs we have sung
And we can bury our limbs
Underneath all these hymns
Until we see those days again
