Lyrics
I sold myself on paradise
But I'm giving up on that ghost
Cause it Keeps me from counting the cost
Moments I've loved and I've lost
Bow down to the splits in the seconds
Did I suffer on?
Were the nights too long?
All the echos all so miscalculated
When im dead and gone
And the race is won
Will everything be less complicated?
I give you my word
In the times I've had enough
I still wish for the worst
As free as a bird
But the days keep crossing off
Heaven came with a curse
I’m frozen here I’m paralyzed
Would you pull it outta my throat?
Cause I’m tired of burning these boats
Praying to god that I float
Bow down to the splits in the seconds
I give you my word
In the times I've had enough
I still wish for the worst
As free as a bird
But the days keep crossing off
Heaven came with a curse
I won't pretend
To know my end
The credits roll
Im afraid it’s
The end of the earth
Cause the days keep crossing off
Heaven came with a curse
You give me a conscience I’ll give you a crisis
Hard times but id rather see this than be blinded
Breakdown
What’s behind us
Darkness only cares what the light does
I give you my word
In the times I've had enough
I still wish for the worst
As free as a bird
But the days keep crossing off
Heaven came with a curse
I give you my word
In the times I've had enough
I still wish for the worst
As free as a bird
But the days keep crossing off
Heaven came with a curse
I won't pretend
To know my end
The credits roll
Im afraid it’s
The end of the earth
Cause the days keep crossing off
Heaven came with a curse
Heaven came with a curse

Everyone’s already spot on - Jordan’s done a cracking job on this. One of the best things is Jordan’s production on cleans and melodic stuff/electronics that balance the heavies, just perfectly suits Sam’s voice as well. This absolutely smacks.

He’s gonna make more independently as a producer than he ever did in bmth, and we’ve would in another band.
