Canary in a Coal Mine Lyrics

Silence is so deafening

I can hear the clock for the first time

All we used to do is scream

Don't know if I'll be here for the last time

Cause you're gripping on a kite in a hurricane

"Stay with me" you plea as I drift away

But gluing back a hundred shards of reflective glass

Isn't the same, is it?

And holding back each time I wanna pour my heart out

Isn't the way, is it?

Strange for me to think this had potential though

Time and time and time again

Where was the canary in this coal mine?

I choked on my tears a minute ago

But swear I'm fine

Where was the canary in this coal mine?

I kept coming back for seconds

And lost so much precious time

I guess loss isn't comfortable

And neither is change

And one final push would be deranged

But gluing back a hundred shards of reflective glass

Isn't the same, is it?

And holding back each time I wanna pour my heart out

Isn't the way, is it?

Dumb of me to think this had potential though

Time and time and time again

Where was the canary in this coal mine?

I forgot to leave my bed this week

But swear I'm fine

Where was the canary in this coal mine?

I kept coming back for seconds

And lost so much precious time

I guess loss isn't comfortable

And neither is change

And one final push would be deranged

But I guess I'll stay

Cause that's easier, anyway
