Sound of Rum - Breakthrough lyrics

I got both hands fixed on the wheel of my life Tank running empty, need to refuel Screaming at myself, "Be cool!" I can't heed it, when I had it, didn't want it Now it's gone though, I need it Speeding now, both feet on my character flaws So fast, I can't hear the exhaust tell me "slow down!" Seat belt buckled up, heart bruised, knuckles scuffed Walls, I'm amazed you're appalled Headlights on full beam, hindsight's a fool's dream I'm like this new scene, limelight is too green Our lives got routine, your spite got too keen Now I'm too lean to care what the truth means I know where you've been, last night had two dreams: One was the journey, the other the destination Smash up all the cars in the driveway I would've done anything for you, it's just I had to do it my way I say you're dealing very well, you're having nice days I'm screaming in the hell of mistakes made, price paid Broken and distressed, hoping for the best You held me too tight, you left me choking for my breath Yes, top down, boot full, alarm going crazy Double parked always close to hand when the trouble starts Your eyes hurl fists, concrete like your rubble heart Once upon a time we smoked spliffs in a bubble bath Walk past it, bare feet connecting Clenched teeth protecting the words I can't utter Cut from another cloth, like why the f** you running off? Stay still, come on, smash my cold bones into the tarmac Stripping the disguise from your eyes You can't hide from a hider or tell lies to a liar Treat him like sh** long enough though, the flies will gather You made me feel stupid like my life don't matter Three point turning, approaching dead ends Ain't no enemy like an ex-best-friend Three point turning approaching dead ends Ain't no enemy like an ex-best-friend Ain't no enemy like an ex-best-friend [Hook] Absolute indifference to gradual closeness Conveniently smitten then I couldn't get no focus Then I saw we were completely f**ing hopeless Treasured every touch, couldn't ever get enough Lust turns to neediness, greediness, jealousy Empty embraces, eventually faced with The image I don't recognize, that's when I had a breakthrough The minute that you love them right, they turn around and hate you [Verse 2] Point scoring is boring and I want more than this Falling was great but the morning mutates Our sweet nights into complicated days, street fights Beneath broken street lights flickering like paparazzi bulbs We ain't superstars though, we just stupid Our faces all screwed up, hurling them pissed up fists And I'm at my wits end, your lips are like carnivorous plants Cold words go straight to my shivering heart This is the significant part You don't take my calls and my liver gets hard Drinking 'til the sinking has pa**ed You're looking out for other bodies who might give it a chance I'm just a ship on a vast ocean, I'm the river that chants We're moving to the music But the rhythms we dance are contrary You're just pa**ing through but me I live in these parts You know I can't help but exhibit my heart Creep into my thoughts when they ain't busy My arms hold the imprint you left on my physical Don't wanna make miserable apologies pitiful Sorrowfully studying photography From days that weren't so difficult Original rose-tinted spec wearer Started off imbalanced, nah it didn't get fairer Within me is a flame, torch still sings your name Gotta get it ready to pa** to the next bearer [Hook] It went from absolute indifference to gradual closeness Conveniently smitten then I couldn't get no focus Then I saw we were completely f**ing hopeless Treasured every touch, I couldn't ever get enough Lust turns to neediness to greediness to jealousy Empty embraces, eventually faced with The image I don't recognize, that's when I had a breakthrough The minute that you love them right, they turn around and hate you Absolute indifference, gradual closeness Conveniently smitten then... I'd no focus Cause then you see you were completely f**ing hopeless Treasured every touch, you couldn't ever get enough Lust turns to neediness, greediness, jealousy Empty embraces, eventually faced with The image you don't recognize That's when you had a breakthrough The minute that you love them right, they leave!
