Lyrics
Catch me in a lie
I’ll make you crazy
Filaments get twisted on the fly
Meet me on the brink
You just might save me
Or maybe our momentum meets the sky
You didn’t plan this
It’s just who you are
A headlong dash, a bridge too far
I can’t keep straight these webs I’ve spun
I took the path of least resistance at a run
The stars are lit behind me
And they spell your name in cold, distant flame
Give me one more chance
I’ll make you earn it
Thrice a fool and shamed now at a glance
Cut you down to size
The walking wounded
A malignancy no surgeon can excise
I didn’t plan this
Although I played my part
The emblems of a mummer’s art
I can’t keep straight these webs I’ve spun
I took the path of least resistance at a run
The stars are lit behind me
And they spell your name in cold, distant flame
This chemistry is like a toxic remedy
The more we take, the worse we bleed
Looking for the cure
But can’t resist the short-term lure
Expedience came at a cost for you and me
I can’t keep straight these webs I’ve spun
Staring down the barrel of a loaded gun
This dependency we share
Will never get us anywhere
But time flies when you’re having so much fun
I can’t keep straight these webs I’ve spun
I took the path of least resistance at a run
The stars are lit behind me
And they spell your name in cold, distant flame
