lyrics

painted like the ripest fruit
from the branch i held onto
should've let go sooner
rather than reaching out for you

maybe then i'd be able to land on a foot or two
instead of plunging to the ground
to the sound of seedless doom

but if there's anything i've learned
it's how to stand again
when the mask is set aside
and they stop all the pretense

my bones shake
they tell me to run
after all the chase is half the fun
but i've years of learning how to get away
from the fools and the tools
and you're just the same

so don't hold you're breath or do

threw too many stones
that never seemed to skip
although the ripples they created
faded at the slowest of paces

makes no difference to depths of water
whether close to home or farther
they always seem to sink beneath the surface
i don't deserve this
i don't deserve this

but if there's anything i've learned
it's how to stand again
when the mask is set aside
and they stop all the pretense

my bones shake
they tell me to run
after all the chase is half the fun
but i've years of learning how to get away
from the fools and the tools
and you're just the same

so don't hold you're breath or

overcomplicating every situation that i'm in
at least i confess to the messes i begin
this is not the kind of conflict you can come back from
nobody wins
you were like appendicitis bursting in my side
just to show i don't need you to live

my bones they shake
they tell me to run
after all the chase is half the fun
but i've years of learning how to get away
from the fools and the tools
and you're just the same

so don't hold you're breath or do

'til you turn blue
