lyrics

twenty seven safety pins
holding together
my sleeves to my sweater
there used to be stitching there
but i get so nervous
that i fidget my fingertips
i started pulling those threads and then
i started coming unraveled again

i am not the same since we lost you
but i am not the same as i used to be
and maybe if our bloodlines collected
we'd count all our blessings before we eat
you were not the one to look after
and now it's your ghost that is haunting me
this family was built like a burden
nobody wants to watch you bleed

enough is enough is enough is enough
is it enough for you?
is it enough for you?
cause you drank al my blood
left me hungry as i ever was

but i can still say i tried
even if we chalk it up another misfire
i tried to pass it off the same way that i always thought i could
but the same thing happened like i knew it would
bad habits breed fast like rabbits
getting big big mad cause you couldn't handle all your baggage
i'm living under the weather
i know you thought i knew better
i'm feeling dumber than ever
and you were right

im always off time
you were feeling too stressed
like, really confined
like all your bruises
and all your bad times
they kept you feeling triggered,
pressure like a landmine

and you were right

im always off time
you were feeling too stressed
like, really confined
like all your bruises
and all your bad times
they kept you feeling triggered,
pressure like a landmine

i am not the same since we lost you
but i am not the same as i used to be
and maybe if our bloodlines collected
we'd count all our blessings before we eat
you were not the one to look after
and now it's your ghost that is haunting me
this family was built like a burden
nobody wants to watch you bleed

enough is enough is enough is enough
is it enough for you?
is it enough for you?
cause you drank al my blood
left me hungry as i ever was

but i can still say i
