Paper Lung

It's too late

It's too late now, 

to pry away, to pry away



The candle burns on both ends

so where does it leave us?

Standing emptier than we ever left you

With your head in the water, it's getting harder to breathe

So stand up, stand up



It's too late, to pry away

It's too late, to pry away



Don't get me wrong, im just as scared as you are now

They dropped us off here with no direction

But you never even tried to fight the current, 

Watch the water pouring faster into your lungs

So breathe in, breathe in



It's too late to pry away

It's too late, to pry away



But its hard to hear me when you're sinking

Down here,



I wanna see you

wash it down, wash it down.



How can you sleep here? I bear the weight of the world

I dont believe it,

A single word you sold to me, sold to me



I bear your burden, for the last time I swear, 

I'm done with all of this



Its too late, to pry you

Away from the undertow, I watch it take you, then I walk away
