Headline by Empty Atlas Lyrics

Check your pulse, your vital signs
'Cause it's visible what's on your mind
But it hurts much worse to feel it than to hear


Grab my keys, I'm walking out
And subconsciously, I lock the house
So it's twice as hard for you to disappear

I can read you like a headline
Bold and dark
Panicked scripting grips my heart like a newsflash
Leaves me blind
I lose my sight then I lose my mind for you

Give you space to clear your head
When I walk in, your clothes are boxed on the bed
I'm in denial like you're deciding what to wear

Come on, give it a try. Change your mind
But I stray from my point with every line
Like the teleprompter fades to black
While I'm still on the air
And I can read you like a headline
Bold and dark
Panicked scripting grips my heart like a newsflash
Leaves me blind
I lose my sight then I lose my mind for you

Maybe "Human Interest" doesn't suit me
Maybe I am much to sick for "Health"
Maybe I'm too quick to see the bad things
And I should keep "Opinions" to myself

But were the roles reversed, it would be much worse
I would never even hesitate to leave you first
Content to write it down in the past tense
Bullet-pointed, modified and vacuous

Like a headline
Bold and dark
Panicked scripting grips my heart like a newsflash
Leaves me blind
I lose my sight then I lose my mind
Like a headline
Bold and dark
Panicked scripting grips my heart like a newsflash
Leaves me blind
I lose my sight then I lose my mind for you
And I can read you like a headline
