The Scope of All of This Rebuilding - The Hotelier

You cut our ropes, left the umbilical

And now I carry around this weight of broken hope

And I can’t retrace and I lost my hold

And blame myself 'cause that is all I’ve ever known

And your face shows doubt

(When your head feels the wake of the sorrow)

Swore to me that you could live without

(Then the beg turns to take turns to borrow)

Help me down, I just want this out

(When you bend, when you break, when you follow)

So you cut me out

Then you cut our ropes, left the umbilical

And now I’m lost and I can’t take this path back home

Send a birthday card, leave a one-way note

I lied, I’m sorry, this isn’t easy, I don’t know

And you’d ask me to «open your walls to this»

But I’m scared, fingers broken

And ill-prepared to let this drag out

When you forgot the words to our song

When you can’t remember names, it’s been too long

When you stopped asking what was wrong

All the pressure built up it was too strong

(I can’t make this better

It fell out of my hands because

I just wasn’t built to hold on)

And I can’t remember names its been too long

And I can’t find your face in the crowd

I made a promise, said my eyes would stay shut

Through something called the scope of all of this rebuilding

I broke when I entered, displaced from the center

I can’t find my way around this

My wounds healed while my fingers fixed
