Transient - Single from Transient - EP by Sonder Ensemble

After feeling back at home for a little while
I feel that I could settle in
But would I lie to me?

When I turn the Keurig on and she is sleeping
I am feeling bitter, blissful, and genuine
But I can’t warm my feet

Whenever we think that we are strong
It seems the bulb burns out, burns me out again
The lock breaks off when I turn the key
And locks me out of my own heart again

I believe I have misplaced all my priorities
She said, “Only a night then I can handle it”
But would she lie to me?

All was quiet when I wrote down all my faded thoughts
On the small of her back
In lonely company

Whenever we think that we are strong
It seems the bulb burns out, burns me out again
The lock breaks off when I turn the key
And locks me out of my own heart again
Everyone is looking for a home it seems
A home away from hope and hurt and pain again
Everyone’s afraid of their own fantasy
Close the door on all that’s in the past again

Lie to me about your past again

When my eyelids turn from dark to red and wake me up
I hear that old familiar buzz
I knew she’d lie to me

Chorus
