Cut the Body Loose

We're all just waiting

For you to breathe

My knees bleed from praying

You'll wake from your sleep

Can't hear what I'm saying

No matter how I scream

We know the world

Is wasted on me

We know the world

Is wasted on me

The city still just a nightmare

Too quiet to handle

I drove through the night to get there

In spite of the damage

Had to come down a fire trail

Just to make our way home

Ain't no street signs up on any of them roads

Ain't no streets left to put them signs back onHey buddy

Go on put that map down

This ain't that town no more

Them signs ain't no use

Go on turn back now

Don't act proud

I think it's about time

To cut the body loose

Don't you think it's about time

We cut the body loose

We're all just waiting

For you to breathe

My knees bleed from praying

You'll wake from your sleep

Can't hear what I'm saying

No matter how I scream

We know the world

Is wasted on me

We know the world

Is wasted on meYour hair broken by your surface

Like it birthed you

Crawled back on that bike

Empty handed too

You couldn't stand for it

Dragging him with you

I know you had to cut the body loose

I know you just had to cut the body loose

I think it's about time

We cut the body loose

Cause I don't know how this can end

But I know we can't keep holding our breathWe're all just waiting

For you to breathe

My knees bleed from praying

You'll wake from your sleep

You can't hear what I'm saying

No matter how I scream

We know the world

Is wasted on me

We know the world

Is wasted on me
