← Loose Ends

/ Lyrics
[Verse 1 ]
Tangled wires in the back of my head
Crossed up bad, still glowing red
Pulled one loose, the whole thing sparked
Lit up the room and killed the dark
I know better
I know the drill
How to stand still and call it will
But every habit’s got a hidden switch
And every clean line’s got a little hitch
[Pre-Chorus]
I cut the power
The circuit hums
I shut one door
Three more come undone
[Chorus]
Tangled wires Still running through me
Tangled wires Same old current in my teeth
I pull the plug
It finds another wall
Tangled wires I’m not clean of it at all
[Verse 2]
Yesterday’s fix in tomorrow’s clothes
Same bad tune in a lower tone
I tell myself it’s not that deep
Then lie awake and count the heat
My hands remember
Before I do
What to reach for
What to call the truth
Every time I think I’ve got it dead
It lights back up inside the thread
[Pre-Chorus]
I kill the signal
The static stays
I shut one gate
It finds another way
[Chorus]
Tangled wires Still running through me
Tangled wires Same old current in my teeth
I pull the plug
It just finds another wall
Tangled wires I’m not clean of it at all
[Bridge]
I thought the worst part was wanting
Turns out it’s what wanting learns
How it hides in the ordinary
How it waits until the silence turns
No halo
No cure
No bright white room
Just one more night
Trying not to touch the fuse
[Breakdown]
Wire in the hand
Wire in the jaw
Wire in the want
Wire in the flaw
Pull it loose
Hear it sing
Tangled up in everything
[Final Chorus]
Tangled wires Still running through me
Tangled wires Same old current in my teeth
I pull the plug
It just finds another wall
Tangled wires I’m not free of it at all
Tangled wires Still sparking in the dark
Tangled wires Still waking up the dark
