lyrics

I'll keep my doors unlocked, in hopes that your ghost will find it's way into my room. But it's always the same, and I'm just giving myself another reason not to sleep at night. I'll spend my days staring at ceiling tiles, letting all these thoughts roll to the back of my head. And through it all I'll just be wishing it was one of those nights where I was struggling to stay awake in your bed. And After all these months I still can't believe how I got here. Spent half a year alone, but these arms still yearn to be someone's home. I don't know if I can make sense of these words, so I'll just stay in bed with my memories and pray that someday they'll sober up my head. It's that soft touch that calms my shaking bones, and nurtures my frail skin to keep from collapsing. It's what makes these crooked legs march in time, like they've found purpose when all seemed lost. And I guess I owe it all to those long nights spent grinding my teeth, that I've found strength in what used to frighten me. We are not all lost and bound. We have this fear in our hearts that drives us to carry on. Until our eyes no longer see, and our once-beating hearts reside in the ground. You see, we are not all lost and bound.

For lovers who leave
To fill up their arms
I know a hole in a bed
That will blanket yourself

We are not all lost and bound
