Emery - Cutthroat Collapse Lyrics

Artist: Emery

Album: ...In Shallow Seas We Sail

Genre: Rock

  • Songwriters: Matt Carter, Josh Head, Toby Morrell, Dave Powell, Devin Shelton

Time runs out

Those words seemed so sincere
And I've been so lonely here, I find myself lost in escape
Marked by hands I held as my anchor
But in your shallow sea I drown

I can still hear the trees at my back and haunting me
Unafraid, unaffected, this has all gone so wrong
Under this December sky I walked away compromised
Counting steps of what's left to bring this all to an end

Outside you will find the ring that once belonged to me
(Just give me one reason why, well maybe some other time)
Sharing space with her face, pictures on the driver's seat
(You think this all is a game, it's not a game to me)

So now we, we will both kill the messenger
It's such a blur, you didn't even see this meant everything to me
Invisible, plans you made deconstruct me
Tethered to the dream of you but disappearing

If it's gray then just leave it, some colors start bleeding
So guard yourself, that's what my folks used to say
Defended your secrets claiming past loves and regrets
The ambition was hidden to shield yourself from the blame

Outside you will find the ring that once belonged to me
(Just give me one reason why, well maybe some other time)
Sharing space with her face, pictures on the driver's seat
(You think this all is a game, it's not a game to me)

Your failing words once moved heaven and earth
But now they can't make me believe
Invisible, plans you made deconstruct me
Tethered to the dream of you but disappearing

Those words seemed so sincere
In this shallow sea I drown

You want to run and hide to catch your breath
(This can't be happening)
But why don't you come inside and capture all that's left
(This can't be happening)
Capture all that's left
(Oh, but this is happening)

I don't wanna wait for this, a ruined list, the longing kiss
Making all the moments last as if we had the sentiment
Yearning for the sound, breaking from the crowd
Leaving all the cynics racing for the finish

Time runs, time runs
Time runs, time runs out

If I should die, if I should
If I should die, if I should
If I should die, if I should
If I should die, if I should
