Partial Lyrics:

“Here we stand, precariously
Balanced at the edge of infinity
They left us to suffer but we can save each other
We found a lifeline in the arms of one another.”

“If we were born self-destructive or with guarded hearts
We’re healing now by trading keys or breaking in (BREAK IN)
We’re promising each other that we are not our scars
And our identities aren’t defined by skin.”

“If you ever hear these words, I hope you still recognize my voice
If this song hits the radio, I hope it breaks through the city noise
Whether I’m screaming up to heaven or to a town a hundred miles away
I’m just going with the hope that I’ll see you again one day.

It’s been a couple hard and empty years
Been called a fool for counting on you coming home
I’ve found friends but it still hurts without you here
I guess with you gone I’m always half alone

I’ve brushed hands with death and nearly reached the end
Took a hit and risked a flatline
But if your heart’s still beating in your chest my friend,
I hope you find your way back here to mine.”

“This isn’t romantic
not beautifully tragic
it’s ugly and painful
it’s so fucking wasteful
Suicide songs
are always too long
for something that cuts so much short.”
