RETROGRADE Lyrics

Stranded on this planet of desperate isolation

Can't hold me down

Nothing here to make a sound

Clearly I can tell I'm not your priority

I'll feign my glory

Still, here I am strolling through the sand

Hey there, why haven't you picked up the phone

'Cause I've been calling for a thousand years and I'm still alone

I'll tell you

Yet Sister, don't fall for his deceitful lies

you can see right through me

Come undo me

And it would only take one glance

For you to see that I am grasping at straws now

But yet, you have abandoned me once again

Twisting, searching, even though I'm hurting

Maybe

I'll try harder

To get through your cheap disguise

I'm not surprised

Confined by one word, thought, number, or reply

I thought that I could defy, everything that keeps me here

That was a lie

Hey there, please answer my desperate pleas

No matter how hard I scream I'm still here praying for release

Dear brother, I can see you piecing it back together

Cut a hole right through me

It consumes me

And it would only take one glance

For you to see that there is nothing left of me now

There's no part of me left for you to use

Trying, crying, guess who's found the lie? Me

I thought that I could be loved

I guess that all was a lie

I'm stalling

Go all in

I'm falling in retrograde

My heartbeat's humming a tune

I need to be there with you

My tired voice outstretches to you so I'll say it

Hey there, why haven't you picked up the phone

'Cause I've been calling for a thousand years and i'm still alone

I'll tell you

Sister, don't fall for his deceitful lies

Yet you can see right through me

Come undo me

Hey there, why haven't you picked up the phone

'Cause I've been calling for a thousand years and I'm still alone

I'll tell you

Sister, don't fall for his deceitful lies

Yet you can see right through me

Come undo me

And it would only take one glance

For you to see that I am grasping at straws now

But yet, you have abandoned me once again

Twisting, searching, even though I'm hurting

As I burn up in the sun

I finally see your face

I'm living in retrograde
