Earth Moves - Iridescent Lyrics

I watched it rotating thousands of times
But you wore it so effortlessly
Casting shadows while hoping that I shifted pins in your breaking skin
You held the words
On the tip of your tongue
A constant with change, a mind rearranged
"If that's what it takes"
Promises are worthless if they're kept in a glass cage
I remember when we first locked eyes
It was dark inside me
But you turned on a light
I remember how my focus changed
You seemed clear in a familiar haze
You were a friend from the very first word
I felt adrift, now that seems absurd
I could hold you in a trance these days
I took the time to learn you from the look on your face
To the way we embrace
I've known of your touch
I know what you need
When you're emotionally stuck
I know you better than I know myself
It's tiring relying on a ghost for help
As we get older does our history change?
Who scores the failure?
Who takes the blame?
Do secrets stay whispers forever?
I try to speak with a mouth full of leather
You held the question, luminescent and still
Parallels creeping under the cracks in my skin)
I try to speak with a voice unheard
I feel alone in a room full of people
Can't forget it with a body of burns
Try swimming in a soul so evil
Try laying in a hate filled grave
Try scratching at skin deep scars
Try sleeping in the bed you made
Is honesty an untold art?
I've known since the instant you told me
That I would let go
If that's what it takes
