Lyrics Likeness - Eleventyseven

Gifted you the brush that
Painted over all of you
I know what it's like to wake up one day in a skin too bitter to use
I train myself to hold my ground when I want to be holding you
If all my dreams left me for my friends
Then I'd quit havin' them too

How long can we both stand still
Pretending the ice ain't breakin'?
Can we make it?
Can we make it back to spring this time around?
Wish you had the real thing
Instead of something in my likeness
Can we make it?
Can we make it back to spring this time around?

If I was a better man
I never would have begged you to
Pawn away another piece of yourself with every "I love you too"
I find new ways to hate myself
'Cause I swear, I never knew
The roots I grew that held me down were somehow strangling you

How long can we both stand still
Pretending the ice ain't breakin'?
Can we make it?
Can we make it back to spring this time around?
Wish you had the real thing
Instead of something in my likeness
Can we make it?
Can we make it back to spring this time around?

I can taste the waste of every future that might have been
I'd rather have you locked in ice than roll this dice again

How long can we both stand still
Pretending the ice ain't breakin'?
Can we make it?
Can we make it back to spring this time around?
Wish you had the real thing
Instead of something in my likeness
Can we make it?
Can we make it back to spring this time around?
