(Hello? Hi, hi... uh... Look I uh... Today's not the best time, Can we do this some other... hehe... Yeah... It's just... Something came up... I'm sorry) There it is again. like meeting face-to-face with enemy and friend in that old forgotten place find comfort in their arms Wrapped in razor wire the wounds do me no harm (It isn't you, I promise) the wounds do me no harm Is this just another car crash in slow-motion? (I love you, you know that right?) Or are you in the drivers seat this time? Old Familiar, heavy fatigue standing to keep it from swallowing me propping myself upon towers of salt Convincing myself that it isn't my fault Old familiar, tired and weak refusing to bend, refusing to speak but praying so strongly for the weather to change So the rain will finally wash the salt away (I thought I got better) There it is again Like walking through the doors of the house I grew up in now burning to the floor find peace within that heat it can scorch me to the bones the flames do me no harm (I'll figure it out, Always do) the flames do me no harm Do you make a U-turn, save yourself the heartache? (Say Hi to the guys for me.) Or let whatever happens play out? Old Familiar, heavy fatigue standing to keep it from swallowing me propping myself upon towers of salt Convincing myself that it isn't my fault Old familiar, tired and weak refusing to bend, refusing to speak but praying so strongly for the weather to change So the rain will finally wash the salt away (Look. I gotta go. I'll call you back soon) The house is still on fire (okay.. okay I love you) The cuts from razor wire (... I love you?...) To fall is your desire (... hello?...) [hang-up beep] Old Familiar, heavy fatigue standing to keep it from swallowing me propping myself upon towers of salt Convincing myself that it isn't my fault Old familiar, tired and weak refusing to bend, refusing to speak but praying so strongly for the weather to change So the rain will finally wash the salt away wash the salt away
