Let Me Sink

Intro

Mm-hmm

Verse 1

Morning comes and I don't move

The light is just a rumor now

My hands forget what they were made for

My name dissolves inside the fog

Every door I opened closed behind me

Every bridge I built became a wall

Pre-Chorus

And I don't want to fight it anymore

I don't want to want it anymore

Chorus

Let me be still

Let me be nothing

Let the silence take the rest of me

I had a fire once

I had a reason once

Now I just go through the motions

(Through the motions)

(Through the motions)

Post-Chorus

Down down down

Down down down

Let me sink

Verse 2

I used to count the hours like a treasure

Now they hang around my neck like stones

The phone rings and I let it ring forever

The dishes pile like little monuments

I smile at strangers in the hallway

I pretend the weather's fine

Pre-Chorus

But I don't have the strength to fake it more

I don't have the breath to make it more

Chorus

Let me be still

Let me be nothing

Let the silence take the rest of me

I had a fire once

I had a reason once

Now I just go through the motions

(Through the motions)

(Through the motions)

Post-Chorus

Down down down

Down down down

Let me sink

Bridge

Hold my hand with hollow fingers

Sing to me a song I used to know

Maybe somewhere underneath this pavement

Something small still wants to grow

(Still wants to grow)

(Still wants to grow)

Chorus

Let me be still

Let me be nothing

Let the silence take the rest of me

I had a fire once

I had a reason once

Now I just go through the motions

(Through the motions)

(Through the motions)
