Far Away Stables Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
It's a lie that explodes, it blisters and grows
And there's no day I don't plan to change
So what would you do if you found out I knew?
What would you do if you found the keys to every door you ever closed?
What would it take for you to feel this exposed?
Rise like a phoenix fresh from the ashes
Lay bandages over your fractures
It's just like you never left me
I could say that I missed you
But it would only be true if you missed me too
It's just like you never left me
Let it own you, and it will own you
Let it take, and it will borrow
Let it lead, and you will follow
Let it float through your brain
And cage the way it makes you feel tame
The way it shimmers softly at first
Only built to be burst
Is the view better above or below?
So let it own you, and it will own you
Let it take, and it will borrow
Let it lead, and be sure to follow
And fuck the way it makes you feel tame
Rise like a phoenix fresh from the ashes
Lay bandages over your fractures
It's just like you never left me
I could say that I missed you
But it would only be true if you missed me too
It's just like you never left me
