In the Same Room Lyrics

Fingers in
Listen what voices say
Fingers in
Listen what voices say

You always wrote for me, ego
Risk worth taking, risk worth leaving
Seems I'm still afraid of promise
To promise

Too big to stop
Too big to hold down
Trade up for the fast ride
Trade your friends
Time passes us
Don't move
Be still
Be silent

Pulling your teeth, you push away
Cancel plans, cancel them all
Check your breath for cold and hold on
Please hold on

No pictures left to burn goodbye to
The smell of ash and white walls blank
Time passes us
Don't move
Be still
Be silent
Horizontal lines and button-up
Horizontal lines and button-up

Fingers in
Listen what voices say

The drawers of paper all say one thing
Like music boxes custom-made
Time passes us
Don't move
Be still
Be silent

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
