lyrics

You're prepared to love until you can't do what's in front of you
you're prepared to dive into the deepest well tucked inside your room
you and all your glory, you and all your stories
that you write and sing in songs for me
you and all your worry, you and all your hurry
to believe the the things you write to me

I can't let go of something
I turn back into a pumpkin
the sooner I'm alive I'm sooner dead
I want to feel like nothing
can change the drum I'm drumming
the sooner I'm alive I'm sooner dead

I'm prepared to leave the streets of my hometown for streets of mystery
and I'm prepared to swim the seas with a hundred secrets locked inside of me
If I start to follow, if I start to swallow all those words then bring you back to me
'Cause I can't live for glory, I can't live in worry that I'll never be free
never be for free

I can't let go of something
I try but I still want it
the sooner I'm alive I'm sooner dead
Do I want to be hunted
to break a sweat from running
the sooner I'm alive I'm sooner dead

As soon as I'm alive
As soon as I'm alive I'm feeling dead

As soon as I'm alive
As soon as I'm alive I'm feeling dead

As soon as I let go
Another chain will choke me to my death

As soon as I let go
Another chain will choke me to my death
