Rain City Collapse

Why

do you keep licking your wounds

Is it because you like the taste?

You watch from the safety,

Of your walls

Waiting for the tragedy Like you need the show Like you need

it to breathe Same old grin with the knives hidden within

Every step feels like a test you made Every breath feels like

a debt I paid

You think you know

How the story

ends

Just waiting to see How far

I can bend

You want the crack You want the shame

You want the fall To wear your name

Upside down and backwards in You want to see me fall For

your own sake You want to see if my back will… You

want to see if my back will break

Upside down and backwards in That’s how you learn to live,

kid (For your own sake)

(For your own sake)

Never meet your heroes,

kid That line still cuts like glass

You wanted blood in the mirror

Now you choke on the myth

You fed on every stumble

Then called it what I lacked

You stood there counting damage Same old grin with the knives hidden

within

You think you know How the story ends Just waiting to see

How far I can bend I saw the halo crack I saw

the scab peel back All that praise turned thin

You lean in close With your hands in clean

Like pain is proof

That you still believe We were never made to bleed

Upside down and backwards in

You want to see me fall

For your own sake

You want to see if my back will… (Break)

For your own sake

(For your own sake) Upside down and backwards in

That’s how you learn to live Unlimited days But where'd it begin?

You fed on the ruin

Then called it skin

I hear your teeth In the way you grin

If I go down,

You go too

If I split, you call it true

If I bleed, you call it proof

But I am not the wound I am the scar

Upside down and backwards in (Backwards in)

You want to see me fall

For your own sake

You want to see if my… You want to see if my

back will break (For your own sake) (For your own sake)

You sharpen your smile on my face Then ask me why I

bleed Counting every crack in me Like a prayer you need You

keep circling the wound Like you wanna get in You want to

see me fall For your own sake You want to see if

my back Will break (Will break) Upside down and backwards in

Never meet your heroes,

kid

What was my name,

again?
