Mistake

Intro

Oh oh

It's never quiet in the center

Oh oh

Chorus

This house is vacant but the furnace stays hot

Keep talking to the shadows like I'm someone I'm not

Stuck inside a fever that won't ever break

Too much at stake

Is this a mistake

I am the only one I cannot forsake

(I cannot forsake)

Keep talking to the shadows like I'm someone I'm not

Stuck inside a fever that won't ever break

Drop

Mistake

Mistake

(Watch the colors bleed)

Mistake

Verse 1

Counting down seconds while the pressure just climbs

Found a way to swallow all the best of my times

Stumbling

Fumbling

Losing my hold

Silver starts turning to rust and to mold

Walking in circles

Writing out versions of stories I never can sell

Built a nice home in the middle of hell

Pre-Chorus

Everything spins in the hollow

Hard to decide who to follow

Running from things that I borrowed

From my tomorrow

Chorus

This house is vacant but the furnace stays hot

Keep talking to the shadows like I'm someone I'm not

Stuck inside a fever that won't ever break

Too much at stake

Is this a mistake

I am the only one I cannot forsake

(I cannot forsake)

Keep talking to the shadows like I'm someone I'm not

Stuck inside a fever that won't ever break

Drop

Forsake

Mistake

(The furnace stays hot)

Verse 2

Ripping up the scripts because the plot is all wrong

Tried to be steady and I tried to be strong

Now I'm digging

Now I'm praying

Now I'm just here

Searching for a doorway out of this fear

Everything is different

Heavy little lies making tunnels through the doubt

Looking for the exit let me out let me out

Bridge

Maybe there's a window that I missed before

Walking past the locks on the heavy iron door

Finally finding focus

Finally finding sight

Seeing through the edges of a different kind of light

(A different kind of light)

Chorus

This house is vacant but the furnace stays hot

Keep talking to the shadows like I'm someone I'm not

Stuck inside a fever that won't ever break

Too much at stake

Is this a mistake

I am the only one I cannot forsake

(I cannot forsake)

Keep talking to the shadows like I'm someone I'm not

Stuck inside a fever that won't ever break

Drop

It's never quiet

I'm someone I'm not

It's never quiet

In the center

Break it down

Break it

Break it down
