Cinder Blocks Lyrics

The cinder blocks are tied to my feet

I'm going under

A not-so-sweet defeat

If you need me I'll be breathing in water

You tried to free me

Well, you could've tried harder

You tried to knock on my love's locked door

Thinking that you found the key under the floor

But you just scratched the surface

And in the end you lost it

In the end you lost it

I'm an overachiever at underachieving

I'm just rolling along

With acrimonious punches

I'm passively receiving

And I'm endlessly retrieving

And I've seen better places than this

All you had to say was that you're tired

But you left me out to hang on your tangled wire

The one you used to wrap me up

Around your finger, you could try to give a fuck

In the end you lost it

I'm an overachiever at underachieving

I'm just rolling along with acrimonious punches

I'm passively receiving and I'm endlessly retrieving

And I've seen better places than this

You picked these petty things

And tied them to a string

And wore them all like pendulums

And dragged them all along, like

Time seems almost gone, like

We're losing our momentum

You carried too much crooked weight

And in the end you lost it

I said look how far we've come

You said "you've gone too far"

When did you draw the line

Your cryptic signs

I said I'd wait until you're ready

You said "I'm not that steady baby,

I'm fucked up lately"

Did you think I'd leave unscathed

This is the price that I have paid

For my mistakes

I thought we'd be together

I'm not under the weather

I'm becoming the storm

I'm an overachiever at underachieving

I'm just rolling along

With acrimonious punches

I'm passively receiving

And I'm endlessly retrieving

And I've seen better places than this
