lyrics

Hot summer streets where
We grew hard and had
3AM tattooed in our hearts.
Now I’m lost in the way
Of what a strange life mines become.

The blood we shed after bleeding out all our friends.
I know you’re thinking that friends are hard to come by.
But it all takes time.
I’ll wait all night while the
Ghost of those killers break me down tonight.

I know how hard it is to throw yourself back in.
When something’s fading. Something’s missing.

[CHORUS]
But lately, these echoes whisper something
Through the tunnels in my head.
It’s another life,
Just to thrill my soul.
I can feel it pounding in my heart.
It’s so familiar to me now.

I just can’t waste this time yearning in the night.
While the salt of the earth looks so charming while it shines,
And it wants me this time,
To save my life,
While the ghosts of my lovers shake me down tonight.

I know how hard it is to throw yourself back in.
When something’s fading. Something’s missing.

[CHORUS]
But lately, these echoes whisper something
Through the tunnels in my head.
It’s another life,
Just to thrill my soul.
I can feel it pounding in my heart.
It’s so familiar to me now.

You’ve got to hold on.
And push back with every step, don’t let them tell you who you are.
And hold on.
But this modern human nature can break your glass skin.
Bulletproof bones.
And a paper heart that’s bound to rip.

This modern human nature can break your glass skin.
Bulletproof bones.
While it’s shaking me down.
I’m gonna bleed it all out cause,
It’s so familiar to me now.
It’s so familiar to me now.
It’s so familiar to me now.

[OUTRO]
You’ve got to hold on…
