Rearview

Mmmm Mmmm Mmm Mmm Hmm

I see you in the rearview, feral thing

All teeth and hunger and haste

You were so sure you found the answer

In the ashes of your former cage

I could hate you for the fallout

For the shrapnel I still pull from my chest

But you were just a girl rebuilding the ruins

For all that comes next

You thought freedom tastes like wildfire

Anything to make you feel it at all

Wanna warn you of what's coming

But you were already mid-fall

What do I do with who I used to be?

I'll just scream my name and set me free

Hold myself close, hold myself tight

You're still here in the fight

I can't let go, not yet, not now

You'll survive this, you'll learn how

Hold myself close, hold myself tight

You'll make it through to morning's light

Mmmm Mmmm

Every night a different kind of chapel

Every touch a temporary hymn

You collected heat like it could save you

Let them in, let them in, let them in

You blurred the lines until they vanished

Called the demolition being free

Everybody was an exit door

From the thing you couldn't be

If you weren't gonna make it to morning

Then the night was yours to spend

You kept lighting matches in petrol clothes

Daring something, anything, to end

What do I do with who I used to be?

I'll just scream my name and set you free

Hold myself close, hold myself tight

You're still here in the fight

I can't let go, not yet, not now

You'll survive this, you'll learn how

Hold myself close, hold myself tight

You'll make it through to morning's light

Mmmm Mmmm

I know why you did it, God, I know

When the wound is old enough, it hums

You were just trying to drown the frequency

With anyone who'd make you numb

But now you're on the floor and it's so quiet
