LYRICS
There are no words I have to say
In this moment
You're asking me if I'm okay
But I need time to process
All these things that make me lose my focus
And all these parts of me I had not noticed

Before you came
Before you came

I know you think I'm being cold
But I can't bear to look at you today
‘Cause every single time I do I fear
It might be the last time that you'll see me this way

Way
Way

But I guess that's how we learn
By setting fire to things that bring us life
Before we've got to watch them burn
And so I'll say goodbye
Because I'd rather kill a good thing
Than wait for it to die

Die
Die

So draw your lines upon my skin
For the very final time
And I will colour all them in
And retrace them until I
Can't remember what it feels like Like

What a criminally underappreciated song..

[kirtaprefeistrom]

Atom Eve brought me here. F*ing amazing voice.

[gail]

absolutely in love with this song honestly. to me it represents a person who’s been hurt so many times in their life. they reach a point where whenever they’re in a good thing, they expect it to all crumble down. they’ve been conditioned to believe that nothing good will last forever. instead of waiting for the bad to come, they orchestrate the bad themselves. instead of sitting back and letting the good thing disintegrate on its own, they destroy it themselves as a way to have control over their life and situation. that bad thing is something they give to themselves and not something that happens to them ; by doing this they’re not a victim to the situation. they set fire to the good before it burns down before them on its own. much easier to deal with the hurt when you’re the one causing it. absolutely love this song.

[PolyvinylRecords]

going to be thinking about these lyrics for a long time <3

[adiasarr]

who else is here before she blows up ?

[ben]

Thank God I watched the Atom Eve special and stumbled upon this holy grail of a song.

[anokhelalsaxena]

Thank you Atom Eve for bringing me here. This is AWESOME!

[justinscott]

Man this is a hauntingly beautiful song. Only other song that can get me like this is Fade into you mazzy star!

[DavidFelipe]

This really encapsulates why I cut ties with someone I loved. I didn't want to be mean but I couldn't stand watching what we had die. Also, I finally could have a good long needed mourning cry when I first heard it, it felt like a refreshing shower.

[keithbos]

This is the most beautiful song I've ever heard

[DustinDallmann]

I glad to see I'm not the only one who's life was brightened by an episode of Invincible.

You have no idea how many times I’ve listened to this song since it was released. I cry almost every single time because of the music and the words. It just speak so perfectly to my experiences with relationships and my own mother. Musically it is an amazing depiction of the fire and emotion.

[EarlofSedgewick]

The progression of the idea through the verses, nesting into the simple choruses... I don't think I've heard a better summation of the pain of ending a not quite right fit when you grew up both aching for love, but never quite getting it either, from parents, or friends, or whomever ought to have done so. You feel so beholden to keeping it alive, tending that little flame and singeing your fingers, getting jostled and splashed with careless sparks. So you let it burn out, dump all the fuel that's left into the pile.

You can even picture the colouring in the last stanza being done with ash:
So draw your lines upon my skin
For the very final time
And i will colour them all in
And then retrace them until I
Can't remember what it feels like
(Like).

Poetry in lyrics and delivery, everything fits perfectly together. Thank you for this.
