Learn to Crawl

Verse 1

Sirens in my skull at four a.m.

I fed you all my empty plate

Said the ache was proof of something real

Then wondered why I felt so light

Counting cracks along the ceiling tile

Every promise had a jagged edge

You said forever like a dare

I said it back like a pledge

Pre-Chorus

I built a shrine

Out of your silence

Knelt down in the ash

And called it kindness

Chorus

So pull me under

Pull me slow

I gave you everything I owned

You handed back a hollow stone

I named it love

I named it holy

Now I'm learning how to hold

The part of me you couldn't hold

Post-Chorus

Let it fall

Let it fall

If I lose the ground

I'll learn to crawl

Verse 2

Mirror tells a story I don't like

Somebody's teeth behind my smile

I blamed the weather and the moon

Anything but my own design

Every oath we carved into the wall

Grew a vine that strangled out the light

I kept the shards because they cut

And cutting felt a lot like life

Pre-Chorus

I called it fate

I called it chosen

When I was just a door

You kept on closing

Chorus

So pull me under

Pull me slow

I gave you everything I owned

You handed back a hollow stone

I named it love

I named it holy

Now I'm learning how to hold

The part of me you couldn't hold

Post-Chorus

Let it fall

Let it fall

If I lose the ground

I'll learn to crawl

Bridge

Maybe I was the liar

Maybe I was the lie

Maybe every door I bolted

Was me locking out the sky

And if the dark has weight enough

To drag me to the deep

I'll teach my lungs a different song

And learn how not to weep

Chorus

So pull me under

Pull me slow

I gave you everything I owned

You handed back a hollow stone

I named it love

I named it holy

Now I'm learning how to hold

The part of me you couldn't hold

Outro

Let it fall

Let it fall

I'm still here

After all
