lyrics

What's going to happen?
What's the worst that we could do?
So much unspoken
Doesn't mean we never knew

Leaving was easy
What else would anyone expect?
Within an orphan's empire
What other choice was left?

We would shake, we'd shout
And double all our doubt
The wilderness
Was childish
Just a circus of hunger
Underneath our tongues

Every reunion
A bonfire of better days
Sympathy's sinking me
In a summer famous for its lakes

We're acting older
Embarrassed by our sudden grace
The string of second chances
That came to us so late

From a well with a rope
Drawn up through our throats
Strategies
Enemies
The venoms and vanities
That lived unknown
