lyrics

Shotgun he calls as he runs to the car
So we load up the chamber we crave in the cold
We are building a vessel of freedom and flight
Laid down on the table and taken tonight

And I will live with all my mistakes
All wrapped into boxes, my body still aches
I know that you don’t hear a word I am singing at all, you don’t

She went to college a place far away
And peered through the patterns that pulled to your pulse
But Gavin I’ve killed myself thousands of times
In the depths of the summer I paid for my crimes

And I will live with all my mistakes
All wrapped into boxes, my body still aches
I’ll pray for demeanors of splendor inside of your soul

And oh Sophia, all coated in glass
The light and the dark have now balanced at last
Your body it warmed us while we were asleep in the cold
and softly and safely brought my brother home

And I will live with all my mistakes
Wrapped up into boxes, my body still aches
And all I’ve created is filled with depression and strife
So take my old lover, I’m taking my life.
