Permanent Thaw

Title: Permanent Thaw Artist: Black Thread Union [Intro] [Verse 1] I don’t know what I was trying to protect I kept my hands occupied with the wreckage The screen stayed on even when I looked away Like it was waiting for me to come back someday I used to believe there was something worth saving Now I just watch the numbers keep changing Everything I held got too heavy to name So I opened my hands and let go of the frame [Pre-Chorus] We tore down the walls We burned through the floor Now there’s nothing left To be angry for Everything melts Everything breaks And I don’t even know What I was trying to save [Chorus] Nothing can hold in a permanent thaw We wanted to be free and we got what we asked for Just floating in pieces with nowhere to land Still calling it living with nothing in our hands Yeah Nothing can hold In the permanent thaw [Verse 2] I don’t recognize the person I was last year I don’t even remember what I used to fear The days keep repeating but they don’t feel the same Just static in motion with no one to blame I used to think silence was something I chose Now I can’t tell if I still have a voice Everything I built got too heavy to keep So I let it all slide while I stayed half asleep [Pre-Chorus] We tore down the walls We burned through the floor Now there’s nothing left To be angry for [Chorus] Nothing can hold in a permanent thaw We wanted to be free and we got what we asked for Just floating in pieces with nowhere to land Still calling it living with nothing in our hands Yeah Nothing can hold In the permanent thaw [Bridge] I don’t know who I am when the feed goes quiet I don’t know what’s left when I stop trying to fight it I kept my head down for so many years I forgot what it felt like to stand without fear I’m not angry anymore I’m not even scared I’m just here [Final Chorus] Nothing can hold in a permanent thaw We wanted to be free and we got what we asked for Just floating in pieces with nowhere to land Still calling it living with nothing in our hands Yeah Nothing can hold In the permanent thaw [Outro]
