it is what it is because it was what it was
we slather the same sunscreen under the same sun
peel the burn layer by layer til the skin is raw
and wait for the chill of the winter to thaw
persist until you're missed or at least until you're seen
when there's no turn on red and the arrow's never green
persist until you're missed
or at least until you're fine
i can smell it on your breath
and you can smell it on mine
surrender to the void when it falls right through your grasp
nothing feels predictable with sweaty fingertips
i'm patient like a time bomb if a bomb knew how to wait
countdown to the meltdown on another interstate
i'm positive it's negative i know this well enough
when there's no turn on red and green is just a bluff
persist until you're missed
or at least until you're fine
i can smell it on your breath
and you can smell it on mine
you can smell it on mine
you can smell it on mine
