Motions - Driveways

It’s been a long time since I talked to you

I could say I miss you but it’s not the truth

We said like five words then we walked away

I could tell the energy was not the same

But still we stayed calm and we went through the motions

You eyes were deceptively broken

Dark blue like the depths of the ocean

I’m lost in the moment

I can’t escape

‘Cause you felt a way

You’re manic-depressive and passive-aggressive

And I couldn’t stay

Take another breath in slow

I could never let this go

Our skeletons are etched in stone

And every single effort that I murdered was a blessing and a burden

‘Cause I never got a yes or no

I expect that though

How do you live like that?

Down in the shadows

Down in a ditch like that

I can’t see

How do you live like that?

Drowned in the ocean

Down an abyss like that

I can’t breathe

It’s been a long time since I spoke to you

Late at night I wonder if you told the truth

‘Cause every fault line left an open wound

And every single memory is broke in two

But still we stayed calm and we moved through the motions

Your eyes were delusive and frozen

Dark blue like the view from the Tobin

I’ll jump in a moment

I can’t escape

‘Cause you felt a way

You’re manic-depressive and passive-aggressive

And I couldn’t stay

Take another breath in slow

I could never let this go

Our skeletons are etched in stone

And every single effort that I murdered was a blessing and a burden

‘Cause I never got a yes or no

I expect that though

How do you live like that?

Down in the shadows

Down in a ditch like that

I can’t see

How do you live like that?

Drowned in the ocean

Down an abyss like that

I can’t breathe

How do you live like that?

Down in the shadows

Down in a ditch like that

I can’t see

How do you live like that?

Drowned in the ocean

Down an abyss like that

I can’t breathe

I couldn’t see

I couldn’t breathe

I couldn’t live like that

I couldn’t see

I couldn’t breathe

I couldn’t live like that
