MATCHES Lyrics

Head first into shallow waters

I'm swimming with the stones that know me best

Sink to the bottom, recall why I'm flightless

I took the bait, feelings estranged

You took me in, but kept me as a stray

Your arsenic in my veins

Metallic twist as the door swings

Closed off from where we began

This place is empty, it must be home

It's easy to forget that

Kings are buried men

And so are you

Time was all that was precious

But I played with matches

Burning the clock
