I'm the mortal coil wrapped around your finger at the end of every day.
Pushing daisies through your letterbox never helped me find a way.

You've given up on the things that you taught me to believe in.
I remember the look on your face when you told me you were leaving.

I'm a sinner.
Things are never gonna be the same.
You're my compass-spinner,
Still, you keep my heart trapped inside of your birdcage.

I'm the mortal wrapped around your finger at the end of every day.

I'll keep persisting like a stubborn weed through the debris, and grow.

I've given up on myself and the things that I believe in.
I remember the look on your face and I just couldn't believe it.

I'm a sinner.
Things are never gonna be the same.
You're my compass-spinner,
Still, you keep my heart trapped inside of your birdcage.

I set fire to everything you left.
I didn't think about the downsides in loving you to death.
Pushing daisies through your letterbox.
Trying to find all of the things I lost.
Taking time to try to write the wrongs.
Maybe there's nothing wrong with me.

[nicoleviper]

Sounds unique, I quite like it. It’s still emotional like the rest which I love however not as powerful but keep up the good work

[rosemorningstar]

There's a 5 note riff in the background synth in this song that sounds so similar to something else I've heard and it's bugging me that I can't figure it out.

Amazing song though.

[VitrescentObelisk]

[crispinbivens]

This is my favorite song of recent I'm glad I stumbled upon it on here yesterday. It sums up the last 2 years with my ex who treated me like shit perfectly... I may be bent but I definitely didn't break 💯👌
