Iâve got to hand it to you for making it off the island
I was seduced by the traumas
The funeral mourners would whisper in line
I got to give it to you for breaking out of the seasons
I was coerced by a nightmare
Where every knife turned away on a breeze
You walk away across the line
You fade away hung on a wire
You fall asleep and tell yourself that this donât matter at all
Iâve got to give it to you for breaking free of the numbers,
I canât sleep from the gunshots,
And every pin drop I hear on the wind, yeah.
I ve got to hand it to you for making it off the island
I was restrained by the warders
Patrolling the borders behind of my eyes
You walk away across the line
You fade away hung on a wire
You fall asleep and tell yourself that this donât matter at all
No
You walk away
Donât walk away
All these things donât matter now.
