Briars Lyrics

They're closing the bar so you have to leave

Put on your coat and head out on the street

Stare at the neon shivering slightly on the wall

And whisper you've never felt this small

You were outside, alone, waiting for someone to recognize you

But this isn't home you left it behind to become someone new

No you couldn't stay where all of your limbs were wrapped in briars

So you lit a match and prayed that you wouldn't catch on fire

Stand on the platform watch as the air

Escapes from your mouth and evaporates there

Wishing that you were the type of person who knew what to say

But you'll say nothing, and they'll turn away

You were outside, alone, waiting for someone to recognize you

But this isn't home you left it behind to become someone new

No you couldn't stay where all of your limbs were wrapped in briars

So you lit a match and prayed that you wouldn't catch on fire

Reach out this time

Don't hold it inside

Remember the last time you felt so alive

Breath in to begin

This isn't the end

Keep running until you find the arms of a friend

Reach out this time

Don't hold it inside

Remember the last time you felt so alive

Breath in to begin

This isn't the end

Keep running until you find the arms of a friend
