Clawing Back

Verse 1

Small sparks stutter

Inside a skull full of grey smoke

Heavy eyelids dropping down

Now everything just feels wrong

I was talking about the garden

Talking about the car

Talking about the day

Suddenly the words just rot

Frozen in a chair

Missing minutes from the clock

Nobody saw me leave

They think I am listening

Chorus

Stumbling back into the room

Dragging all my history through the heavy gloom

Stumbling back to the start

Wrestling with every single broken part

Clawing my way back

I am clawing my way back

I am clawing my way back

Verse 2

Static salt stains the tongue

Like a battery pressed hard to the roof

Brain burns bright and bitter

Shattered glass is on the floor of my mind

Pick it up

Piece it together

Keep it secret

Nobody asks why my hand is shaking

Stare at the television

Pretend I know the characters

Pretend I know the plot

Pretend I know myself

Chorus

Stumbling back into the room

Dragging all my history through the heavy gloom

Stumbling back to the start

Wrestling with every single broken part

Clawing my way back

I am clawing my way back

I am clawing my way back

Bridge

Missing links

Missing names

Missing faces

The beast is hungry today

The beast is hunting my name

The beast is hiding the way

Fade to white

Fade to gray

Fade to black

I am coming back

I will always find my way back

Chorus

Stumbling back into the room

Dragging all my history through the heavy gloom

Stumbling back to the start

Wrestling with every single broken part

Clawing my way back

I am clawing my way back

I am clawing my way back

Outro

Focus on the floor

Remember who you are

Don't let it win

Not today

Carroll is here

Carroll is here

Carroll is here

Climbing up

One more time

One more time

One more time
