lyrics

Half in as in having become the undertone
The white is brighter on the blackest page
Do we read from the same? Don’t we write our own?
Don’t we long for control

Always, sunny, okay, baby you and me both
The smile is brighter on the darkest face
Did we kiss out of shame? Did we gnaw at a bone?
Don’t we loathe being alone

Why aren’t we even trying to do anything
Weren’t we the ones who were pulling the strings
Why we still reaching if we won’t even take
Yeah you still hear me say

Half in, again, hop in because you never know
The light is brighter in the darkest place
Didn’t time beat the man? Out of stone, turned to sand?
Guess we don’t understand

Half in as in having become the overtone
Twisting the frame, playing a different game
Were we playing for fame? Did we make it alone?
Don’t we long for control

Why aren’t we even trying to do anything
Weren’t we the ones who were pulling the strings
Why we still reaching if we won’t even take
Yeah you still hear me say

Hoh
Listen to the tone
That’s shaking up your bones
and guiding me home
Hah
Listen to your heart
It’s beating in the dark
Just playing it’s part

Why aren’t we even trying to do anything
Weren’t we the ones who were pulling the strings
Why we still reaching if we won’t even take
Yeah you still hear me say
