Untied Laces Lyrics

I can't look in his eyes

Distracted by the specks

I know they're both from her

Those hickeys on his neck

Send me spiraling out of control

Send me spiraling out

Her jet black matte hair

And clumsy untied laces

Her yellow crop-top shirt

Doesn't match her purple braces

Oh but how she looks in my eyes

Oh but how she looks

Oh but how she visits my dreams

Reading unnamed books

So walk down the hall and shout

"Leave me alone"

To the world that is grabbing you

Hands around your throat

But the world is unforgiving

As you'll come to learn

Every rose will be wilted

Every house will be burned

So you weakly try to fight back

But hell, you can hardly speak

Lisping insults to the wind

As you fall on to your knees

Leaving blotches in the mud

And leaving footprints in the snow

There are bodies in the leaf pile

And there's sinners down below

Well I can't tell you how many

But I'll let you know I'm one

'Cause there's things that I am doing

And there's shit that I have done

So I hope you can forgive me

If I sound a little hurt

'Cause I'm reaching out for someone

That can lift me from the dirt
