Letter Lyrics - Singles - The Snake The Cross The Crown

I got your letter, but the willingness wore out, 

And then penmanship was beautiful at best. 

Your words were honest, 

But the meanings raised a doubt 

And the sorrow to the ground 

Breathe in, breathe out 

You're taking in the good, 

You're living with the bad 

But the latter seems to be more 

Than it ever has before 

And in between the sorrow of self-infliction 

And your blood cells are burning to break free 

And I think I might let them go 

A pretty vision to follow through 

You know it's hot and we can't take it 

It doesn't look like we would make it, 

So let's just forget, 

You know it's hot and we can't take it 

It doesn't look like we would make it, 

So let's just forget 

You're hearing one thing, it's always the same, 

But the trick is holding on 

Remember that glare, 

The one before everything comes clear 

And it's harder every day to think of what to say 

But the trick is holding on 

And the time is making everything seem hotter 

And there's no use holding on 

And every day is more like science fiction(?) 

And the past comes into play 

A life with less emotion 

And I know we both let them go 

A pretty vision to follow through 

You know it's hot and we can't take it 

It doesn't look like we would make it, 

So let's just forget. 

You know it's hot and we can't take it 

It doesn't look like we would make it, 

So let's just forget.
