Em Rattles Bones - Could Be A Blessing

Thirteen years old, you were fighting for your life
The villains were already crushing you under their lies
Dancing in the corners of my reddened eyes
They tempted me with the sharp edge of a knife

We could get addicted to vodka or cocaine
Do dumb shit 'til we forget how hard the game of life is to play
Your mind could fade away, my body could decay
Our morals decompose in a semi-conscious haze

It could be a blessing, if you look at it that way
It could be a blessing, if you look at it that way

Nineteen years old, I was pressing search to know
If I swallow too much paracetamol all in one go
Could I end up in the hospital without having to die?
Just hurt enough that people see how hard it is for me to be alive

We could get addicted to vodka or cocaine
Do dumb shit 'til we forget how hard the game of life is to play
Your mind could fade away, my body could decay
Our morals decompose in a semi-conscious haze

When we said goodbye, I vowed I'd do my very best
Now all I have's a racing heart inside a torn up chest
We were supposed to find each other out there in the world
But things were harder than we thought, you're out of breath, I'm lost for words

Do you fear your past is like a loaded gun?
That the contents of your heart will come out sounding dumb?
Is there something from which you run?
I have no idea how this'll end cos to each other we are no one

So we make due with a little too much wine
Over-sharing to our friends 'til we pass out at night
It's embarrassing, but what is there to do but sing?
All else that I've tried, you bet I've failed at everything

It could be a blessing, if you look at it that way

We make due with a little too much wine
Hoping to make sense of the restlessness inside
It's frightening, but what is there to do but sing?
I'll hold on to hope though it's a rope thin as a string

It could be a blessing, if you look at it that way
It could be a blessing, if you look at it that way
