There's this one word, it's called comfort,
It's the strangest, most dangerous place I could hide
It's a wonder, this cold comfort
Hasn't hollowed and swallowed you and I from inside
You're my first point, on the worst nights
My gut knots up, my heart bursts like
A pinata pops, this has gotta stop, watch the water drop from clouds, it sure rains a lot
And I've felt how a heart melts down

You said your life's a house of cards, and it teeters on the brink
On the edges of window ledges, until like a great ship down it sinks
Into the sea bed, with sunken gold
And words that we said back when
You used to think that your life was precious metals and rose petals
But now as you're growing up you're finding it's nail-biting and teeth-grinding
