Crosshairs

I’ve been staying up late fighting figures with crosshairs
And sometimes you’d come to mind
I’ve been praying you’d wait finding reasons in nowhere
And sometimes they’re hard to find

I’ve been forgetting dates, dusting bookshelves with cobwebs
And that’s when you tried to stay
I’ve been calling you fake hollow crosses you won’t bare
And that’s when you walked away
Walked away

And you said that drowning was the quickest way to the bottom of the lake
And you were right
Those city lights just don’t compare to the shallow water’s shimmer
In the middle of the night
Back when the stars look like reasons to fly
You always said there’s something stupid about me and I’d never know why

I’ve been straining my eyes, internet, escape life
And sometimes I’d fall asleep
I’ve been maintaining face, silent struggle and quiet nights
And sometimes it’s hard to keep

I’ve been telling you lies, concentrating on past lives
And sometimes I’d lose a day
I’ve been calling you fake hollow crosses you won’t bare
And that’s when you walked away

And you said that drowning was the quickest way to the bottom of the lake
And you were right
Those city lights just don’t compare to the shallow water’s shimmer
In the middle of the night
Back when the stars look like reasons to fly
You always said there’s something stupid about me and I’d never know why

I had a dream this would sink
A few chains short of a link
So tell me what do you think? You said that you couldn't bare
I had a dream this would sink
A few chains short of a link
So tell me what do you think? You said that you couldn't bare

I gave you fake hollow crosses, you said that you couldn't bare
I gave you fake hollow crosses, you said that you couldn't bare
I gave you fake hollow crosses, that you couldn't bare
I gave you fake hollow crosses, that you couldn't bare
I gave you fake hollow crosses, that you couldn't bare
I gave you fake hollow crosses, that you couldn't bare
