BAD WIRE (NDC TT)

[VERSE 1] Worked all day bent wrong in a tractor seat Back locked up, something burning in my skin One side dead, other side screaming slow Don’t fix it, just push through, get it done [VERSE 2] Yard full of leaves, hands torn up and dry Drag it, pile it, don’t even look back Boots hit the floor, dirt stays where it falls Don’t clean it, don’t care, just need it to stop [PRE] Air goes heavy before the sky breaks open You feel it coming before the sound hits [CHORUS] I just want one quiet minute in hot water Let the heat take the edge off the day But every flash outside runs through the wall Bad wire in the wall, won’t let me stay Just a spark, just a tick in the dark Right when I start to let go I don’t ask for much, just this small thing Bad wire in the wall, won’t let me go [VERSE 3] Sit down slow, feel it pull in my side That dull itch that won’t leave me alone Water still, but the room feels off Like something’s already inside [VERSE 4] I wired it wrong and I know that I did Cut it fast, closed it up, left it there Now every time the sky splits open above It comes back through everything here [PRE] Air goes heavy before the sky breaks open You feel it coming before the sound hits [CHORUS] I just want one quiet minute in hot water Let the heat take the edge off the day But every flash outside runs through the wall Bad wire in the wall, won’t let me stay Just a spark, just a tick in the dark Right when I start to let go I don’t ask for much, just this small thing Bad wire in the wall, won’t let me go [BRIDGE] Just sit still Just breathe slow One small break That’s all [CHORUS] I just want one quiet minute in hot water Let the noise stay outside for once But it comes through the wall every time it hits Bad wire in the wall, no rest, no stop Just a spark, just a tick in the dark Every time I close my eyes I don’t ask for more than this one thing Bad wire in the wall... this is my life
