Alabaster Lyrics

I bet that you thought we could put this one to bed

I bet that you thought that it would feel like the ocean

But the labor never ends

When the people you trust

Have taken what's left us

For a moment you're there

Visibly unaware

Say that we're perfect

I want that to be enough

Like a habit, you've curbed it

But the drawback is so abrupt

That's all you had to say

But I knew you'd hold back anyway

With your intention

Placed on the back of mine

And you say it's fine

As you sink into the river

The anchor has left me now

I see straight thru the liquor

Maybe it'll shut my mouth

Tell me we're perfect

I want that to be enough

The feeling is worth it

When the radio is calling my bluff

That's all you had to say

And I knew you'd say that anyway

With your discretion

Placed on the back of mine

But I guess I'm fine

As you sink into the river

The anger has left me now

I see straight thru the liquor

Maybe it'll shut my mouth
