Relationship Energy Clashes 50.1 [EXPLICIT]

STUDIO

[Verse 1] The coffee’s cold and the air is getting thin. I see that look behind your eyes again. You’re picking locks that were never meant to open. Leaving every word we traded lying broken. [Verse 2] It’s a testing kind of silence in the hall. You’re waiting for my back against the wall. Challenging the space I’m trying to claim. Like love is just another losing game. [Verse 3] You punish me for things I didn't do. For ghosts of men who walked away from you. But I’m a man who stands on solid ground. And I won't let your storm-winds knock me down. [Verse 4] You think that peace is something I should earn. A little scrap of grace for which I yearn. But you’ve got the ledger written all wrong. I’ve been quiet, but that don't mean I’m not strong. [Verse 5] Peace is not a trophy on a shelf. It’s the border that I’m drawing for myself. It’s the line in the dirt you shall not cross. No matter what the argument or cost. [Verse 6] If your energy is built on keeping score. Then I’m the one who’s headed for the door. I’m disengaging from the static and the heat. I’m finding rhythm in my own two feet. [Verse 7] You call it distance, I call it survival. I’m tired of being treated like a rival. In the house we built to keep the winter out. Now all we’re doing is living in the doubt. [Verse 8] The Telecaster’s wailing in the dark. Trying to find a flame within the spark. But you’re pouring water on the very thing. That used to make this heavy heart of mine sing. [Verse 9] There’s an Outlaw’s wisdom in the desert wind. Knowing when a broken thing won't mend. I won't be the anvil for your hammer’s blow. There’s a certain kind of power in letting go. [Verse 10] So go ahead and test the strength of me. I’m as stubborn as an old white oak tree. But don’t be surprised when the shadows fall. And I’m just a memory written on the wall. [Verse 11] I’m reclaiming every hour that you stole. With the testing and the taking of my soul. The boundary is set, the wire is high. Underneath this wide and lonely Texas sky. [Verse 12] I’m walking where the air is clean and still. Beyond the reach of your restless, bitter will. Peace is the boundary that I’m living behind. And finally, I’ve got a little peace of mind.
