Weathered lyrics
by The Hotelier
[Verse 1]
You were awakened, I was never asleep
I was just drilling some holes in my head that perpetually bled
You fed your senses, I made art of myself
I drew bear claws on my chest and third eyes on my head looking down
[Verse 2]
It was live, it was all live, ammunition in the gun
And I meant it, every bullet, and I hope they all stung
'Cause that's what I deal with every time I lift up the back of my shirt and I show you
What you drew that night with a Swiss Army Knife saying it was only maps of constellations
[Verse 3]
Your hands were shaking, mine were stiff as stones
They said grab ahold, we said f*ck off, we'll find our way home
My blood was burning, yours was spilling out
We said we'd fly to the end of the earth just to find ourselves
[Verse 4]
And your heart, it was not there when I needed it the most
I was floating, it was grounded, getting buried, too deep to stay close
And I swore I'd dig it up someday, build a fire just to keep it warm
Then we'll get off the ground and drink rain from the clouds and go dance out in the storm
[Outro]
Because birds, we fly together
I feel tethered, defeathered, and weathered
A push at its best would get me out my nest, then I'll never come home
It was love, it was true love
Not that sh*t sold from Hallmark, Hollywood, or WalMart
I'm losing twelve years worth of soul mates
And it's harder and realer than anything I've ever felt
