The Republic Of Wolves - Albatross lyrics

I sent a crackling message It had grown old inside my mouth It was phonetically in tact But the meanings were mismanaged in a way You were a bed of coral In some domesticated dream You were laconic when you woke But our words had all been sewed up all the same, even my name We were both simplified And sharpened into symbols That we hadn't even tried to understand And we felt something tear But we held the sorry truth inside our throats We let it burn, and scratch, and claw, and finally fall Our fear was tightly packaged In some warehouse we had built You said I'd tried too f**ing hard And got caught up in definitions from the start So I met a sickly liar And I borrowed both his lungs Thought maybe I'd set them straight But his guilt, it fit me better anyway And I don't think you'll ever know How hard it was to let that go Yeah, I guess I lost control But I never will again
