The Inkcrypter - Stitches Lyrics

If a picture's worth a million words, then why am I left feeling so burned
Gasoline on wounds unseen, tearing apart all the fragile seams

I didn't wanna, I didn't wanna believe
That you'd take our love and turn it to ash and bone
I caught your heart, but it turned to stone
And shattered me, and me alone


One stitch, two stitch, three stitch, four
Now I'm sewing up what's been bleeding
With every thread I'm lacing what's been torn
It won't hurt anymore

Oh baby, oh baby, you said you weren't keeping score
But every time I see you, my heart hits the floor
Choked up, can't get it out
Your saliva drying up in my mouth

If a picture's worth a million words, then why am I left feeling so burned
Gasoline on wounds unseen, tearing apart all the fragile seams
I didn't wanna, I didn't wanna believe
That you'd take our love and turn it to ash and bone
I caught your heart, but it turned to stone
And shattered me, and me alone

One stitch, two stitch, three stitch, four
Now I'm sewing up what's been bleeding
With every thread I'm lacing what's been torn
It won't hurt anymore

Patchwork of history
Your abuse must be a delicacy
Draining the colors from my face
Yeah, I'm slowly turning gray, but you know what they say

I'm making friends with shadows on the walls
You watch me stumble and laugh as I fall

One stitch, two stitch, three stitch, four
Now I'm sewing up what's been bleeding
With every thread I'm lacing what's been torn
It won't hurt anymore

Oh baby, oh baby, you said you weren't keeping score
But every time I see you, my heart hits the floor
Choked up, can't get it out
Your saliva drying up in my mouth
Your saliva drying up in my mouth

Every memory's got me walking the ledge
Can't escape your ghost calling me to the edge
Stitch by stitch, follow the dotted line
Look me in the eyes, I'll tell you I'm just fine
And we know that's a damn lie

If a picture's worth a million words, then why am I left feeling so burned
