Cadmium live in Nashville on 11.22.16 by Pinegrove Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Was walkin' with my neck out
In some ways I wish I was
I was walking with my neck out
In some ways that I wish that I was
Out on the bevel, a sound
It sounds like everything else
An' you'll know it when you hear it
'Cause you know the way my voice felt
[Verse 2]
Ignore my tone and everythin'
I sing, I sing for me
Ignore the phone on the bed
It rings, it rings, it rings
A shirt collar wringing me out
And my collarbone got all red
Already severing prose
I wrote, so I sing instead
[Verse 3]
I'll hold you, put your neck out
Tell me the ways you wish you were
Keep your confidence sound
Your hook, my eye, my spur
So when I went to hang out
I hung behind your eyes
And my eyes still flicker with doubt
Quickly, I can't decide
I'm tapped out
Don't it always seem to go that
You could hold it right in your hands
Collapsing and still not know
In your hands
Collapse and still not know (Not know)
(Not know)
[Bridge]
Say what it is
Say how it is with everybody I know
I got no temper for that
I send you this cadmium red
One for every layer I shed
And I shed one layer for this
[Chorus]
Say what it is
It's so impossible
But if I just say what it is
It tends to sublimate away
When I was looking to drop
My life away
[Verse 4]
More every year
I shine light on edges I tried to unfeel
But we gotta do better than that
Some sorting out
So I'll be sitting on the outskirts, if you wanna talk about it
Things in there are gettin' so loud
[Chorus]
Say what it is
It's so impossible
But if I just say what it is
It tends to sublimate away
When I was looking to drop
My life away
Was walkin' with my neck out
In some ways I wish I was
I was walking with my neck out
In some ways that I wish that I was
Out on the bevel, a sound
It sounds like everything else
An' you'll know it when you hear it
'Cause you know the way my voice felt
[Verse 2]
Ignore my tone and everythin'
I sing, I sing for me
Ignore the phone on the bed
It rings, it rings, it rings
A shirt collar wringing me out
And my collarbone got all red
Already severing prose
I wrote, so I sing instead
[Verse 3]
I'll hold you, put your neck out
Tell me the ways you wish you were
Keep your confidence sound
Your hook, my eye, my spur
So when I went to hang out
I hung behind your eyes
And my eyes still flicker with doubt
Quickly, I can't decide
I'm tapped out
Don't it always seem to go that
You could hold it right in your hands
Collapsing and still not know
In your hands
Collapse and still not know (Not know)
(Not know)

My life away
