[Verse 1] Rust on the halo Teeth in the prayer Every word you ever gave me Still hanging in the air White walls Ticking heart rate IV drip of doubt I keep scratching at the memories Trying to carve you out [Chorus] In the arms of sorrow I learned to breathe in glass Cut my way to tomorrow Through the weight of our collapsed past If this pain is all I borrow Then I’ll pay it back at last In the arms of sorrow I finally slip your grasp [Verse 2] Your name on the bottle Your ghost in the frame I trace your face in the dust Till I almost say your name How did love turn so violent Silence like a flare You were steady as a cancer Spreading through the air [Chorus] In the arms of sorrow I learned to breathe in glass Cut my way to tomorrow Through the weight of our collapsed past If this pain is all I borrow Then I’ll pay it back at last In the arms of sorrow I finally slip your grasp [Bridge] I am not your altar I am not your sin (hear me) Every scar a letter Spelling who I’ve been [Breakdown] Tear these tendons Thread by thread (hey!) Rip your echo From my head If this is freedom Let it hurt I’ll bloom I’ll bleed Out of the dirt [Chorus] In the arms of sorrow I learned to breathe in glass Cut my way to tomorrow Through the weight of our collapsed past If this pain is all I borrow Then I’ll pay it back at last In the arms of sorrow I finally slip your grasp
