I'm feeling blind like a salt in my eyes
There's something you need to know
I'm wasting time fall behind in my mind
'Cause I'm fighting and I'm losing war
Tidy little fold lines cracking inside my soul

You can't look me in the eye
I don't do surprises
I got nothing at all
If you catch me I fall

Signs, neon lights like a thief in the night
Who was woken with an open door
I'm serving time by myself for a crime
There's a reason I can't ignore
Holding everything that I was ever looking for

You can't look me in the eye
I don't do surprises
I got nothing at all
If you catch me I fall

You can't look me in the eye
I don't do surprises
I got nothing at all
If you catch me I fall

Look inside me, seems that I've been
Don't forget to pay your bill now
(Dudes is new, who's forming)
Call my friends and tell them there's a party
The sun is coming up, my heart is falling

Out and I am blinded, no one has the ace of spades
But if you play the game you'll find it
I'm running and touching, sinking, thinking, hoping for another
We need to drink and vibe and try not to hold back each other

You can't look me in the eye
I don't do surprises
I got nothing at all
If you catch me I fall
