Build Us Airplanes - Releasing Hands Lyrics

Stuck in this maze turning corners
Just to find, I'm back where i began
Lethargic and weak, to tired to sleep
I can't stand on broken knees
This same old defeat

Releasing hands
Unclasp and excommunicate
Make tracks as we speed away
Dim lights on long interstates
Fade out as the credits play

Empty space on a blank white page
I fill with pointed fingers and blame
The same familiar case
Like cancer it spread and we cut it out
We're fake, we take what we can
And throw the rest away

These shaking hands
Unclasp and excommunicate
Write words that don't change a thing
This weight remains in my bed
Your face painted in my head

Time wipes it clean and chips away
I don't recall who i was before

We dwell in two separate cells
With miles between
I'm picking scabs tonight
Haunted memories
Do what you gotta do with no change
I'll do what i gotta do without choice

And act like it's all ok
To save pride and to save face
Dim lights down long interstates
Just stay the f*ck out of my way
