Capsized - Abstract

Yeah, fallin' fast, I get smacked by the concrete

Knees scraped while I get to spittin' out teeth

Heartbroke, but it been like that since seventeen

I’ve been gettin' pretty used to pourin' kerosine

Over everything, just to get me through the storm

That’s what you do when there’s nobody to keep you warm

Know I been a shelter to too many who can’t do the same

Take, take, take from my fire 'til they kill my flame

Stay, stay, stay, all I wanted anyone to do

Play, play, play with my heart, I think I’m overdue

For someone who love me as completely as I tend to do

I get thinkin' 'bout it 'round the hours between ten and two

Wrong place, wrong time, who am I supposed to find?

I thought it was you but you showed me you were never mine

Everything was not enough

I still got a heart but the cracks started addin' up

I just wanna know how, I just wanna know how

You can take someone who just lifts you up and decide you could let them down

I just wanna know how, I just wanna know how

How you look in my eyes, watch the ship capsize, and decide you can let me drown

I just wanna know how, I just wanna know how

I just wanna know—

How you gonna treat me like the only one?

Turn around and leave me like I never was

Tell me that you need me when you had nobody else

I’m a human, not a toy you get to put back on the shelf

It’s my own fault, I know where I tend to look for love

It’s a hell that I’m acquainted with, I love it like a drug

Gonna kill me and I know it but it turned me to a poet

Waterworks in my eyes but it gets the music flowin'

I look for light

In the darkest places

And I lose my light

To the darkest spaces

Always see the good in people who won’t ever do the same

Fall in love with fillin' cracks like Kintsugi was a game

I go all against my logic, I’m a sucker for the pain

Must be something from my childhood, I feel it in my veins

When I’m chasing after something that ain’t easy to attain

Probably why I’m making music, I’m a sucker for the chase

Always runnin' after goals that aren’t ready for the race

Think I’m runnin' towards love but I’m runnin' in place

I just wanna know how, I just wanna know how

You can take someone who just lifts you up and decide you could let them down

I just wanna know how, I just wanna know how

How you look in my eyes, watch the ship capsize, and decide you can let me drown

I just wanna know how, I just wanna know how

I just wanna know—

Oh, I just wanna know

Oh, I just wanna know

Oh, I just wanna know

Oh, I just wanna know

Oh, I just wanna know
