DROWNSLOW - Empty Frames

Off of the upcoming album 'Feel the Fall'

I TRADED NAMES FOR NUMBERS
TRADED FACES FOR STATIC
I KEEP FORGETTING WHAT I SAID
BUT THE MIRROR REMEMBERS

LEFT FINGERPRINTS ON GLASS
AND WIPED THEM OFF BEFORE THEY DRIED
(LIKE I WAS NEVER HERE)
KEEP THE DOOR HALF-CLOSED
SO I CAN LEAVE WITHOUT THE SOUND
OF ANYONE ASKING WHY

I BITE MY TONGUE UNTIL I TASTE IRON
FEELS BETTER THAN CONNECTION
FEELS BETTER THAN PRETENDING
AND I STOPPED COUNTING
HOW LONG IT’S BEEN SINCE I MEANT A WORD

YOU CAN’T FIX WHAT'S BUILT TO BREAK!
I WAS GONE BEFORE I EVEN STAYED
ANOTHER GHOST IN AN EMPTY FRAME!
ANOTHER NAME YOU’LL NEVER SAY
I’M THE ECHO FADING FASTER
BURN IT DOWN, WALK AWAY

I HELD THE MATCH TOO LONG
JUST TO SEE HOW FAR THE FLAME WOULD GO
(IT BURNED, BUT NOT ENOUGH)
GAVE APOLOGIES I REHEARSED
WITH NO ONE IN MIND
JUST NOISE TO FILL THE STATIC

IT’S EASIER TO DISAPPEAR
THAN ADMIT I’M STILL STANDING HERE
WHEN THE SKY FALLS
I WON’T EVEN FLINCH
I’M ALREADY UNDER THE WRECKAGE

YOU CAN’T FIX WHAT'S BUILT TO BREAK!
I WAS GONE BEFORE I EVEN STAYED
ANOTHER GHOST IN AN EMPTY FRAME!
ANOTHER NAME YOU’LL NEVER SAY
I’M THE ECHO FADING FASTER
BURN IT DOWN, WALK AWAY

TRIED TO FIND A PULSE
BUT THERE’S NOTHING UNDERNEATH
JUST MOTION
JUST MUSCLE MEMORY

SAY WHAT YOU WANT, I WON’T HEAR IT!
SAY WHAT YOU WANT, I WON’T FEEL IT!
WON’T—FEEL—IT!

THE PHONE RINGS
BUT I LET IT ROT IN THE SILENCE
IF I ANSWER
I MIGHT HAVE TO STAY
AND I DON’T THINK I CAN
