The Terrible Secret · letra

Verse 1

Pave these streets with open arms It's always you we have waited on The skin, the taste, the drug, the need I am asking, telling you, don't leave Erase the lines that we have drawn It's always you we have waited on and waited on and on and on

Chorus

These are our words that fill these mouths But all the letters of the alphabet could never spell it out These palms and frames that we tear through To cling to something that is bigger than the failed attempts at you

Post-Chorus

Wait, wait, wait I don't want to see Wait, wait, wait I am not the person anyone would want to be

Verse 2

The perfect shoes with the matching clothes It is the lie we are always told But nothing masks the shallow touch Like saying words that cost so much While you are an addict to the need To find yourself a way to breathe The sex, the purge, the vein, the look To replace the feelings that we have took

Chorus

These are our words that fill these mouths But all the letters of the alphabet could never spell it out These palms and frames that we tear through To cling to something that is bigger than the failed attempts at you

Bridge

Perfection It's perfection But never quite enough and never could disguise The drugs to make it stay The wanting in your eyes The money that you spent But you are still an accident

Pre-Chorus

We are more than words that fill our mouths Drink with eyes that tell us the answers that we need

Chorus

These are our words that fill these mouths But all the letters of the alphabet could never spell it out These palms and frames that we tear through To cling to something that is bigger than the failed attempts at you

Outro

Wait, wait, wait I don't want to see Wait, wait, wait I am not the person anyone would want to be Waiting here 'til you leave
