Collusion Lyrics - Our Blood - Richard Buckner

It was a chance you took: everything was good 

Until you went back inside for a second look, 

Holding out your hand, did you understand, 

Crossing all of those lines and crawling back, 

Slipping from your skin, you couldn't keep it in 

Overgrown, wearing thin, silent, as you whined around 

At another sound, you missed your turn, slowing down, 

Caught in the lights and left again 

Without the time to forget, coming up for air 

From the hollow prayer you were sleeping through 

As you went nowhere, the cold would come as they'd always done 

And run into almost anyone 

Curled in the rocks beyond their days 

Leaving the rest to find their way, 

The tempered tried as they rushed to hide, 

Already gone with no goodbyes, locked-up and out of key 

You'd hear them sing the distant songs with familiar rings, 

Luring you out until you could remember the chance you took.
