Daughter of time

Got caught, closed eyes again
Worst part is you'd never believe me
Got soft, but they kept that grin
The kind that shows we're all too easy
Taped a note to your upstairs window
A hard reminder, it read like her skin felt
This was never home, you were never home

We once fought so hard
It shaped our faces we brandish scars they showed off beauty marks
They saw the devil in our hearts, we watched theirs bend and fall apart
Trying to earn its weight in gold, try to age with grace and not get old

Got caught, making eyes again
How do I show you're worth more than you think
Got soft, I watched you fall right in
Though I knew you were barely breathing
Losing track of all this measurable time
And then it's 4 am we've fallen out of line
We were the flicker our matches ignite

We weren't always this broken up
We used to laugh away the days we used to bank on the fact that
If you burned up I'd cough up smoke
If you lost the nerve I'd start to choke

We're losing grip, we've stripped these gears
I guess it all seems fit we watch our teeth scrape stone together
