The Innocent Ones Lyrics
Long goodbyes and second chances
Forgetting what we fight for
Forgiving all we lose
Cause we're losing it all
The way things happen
Doing all we do to fill up the quiet
Break the awkward silence
Consuming our lives we are spending our time
Keeping our distance
And speaking trivial and trial
But I'll find some way to cut myself open
Over and over again
And I'll find some way to bare it all
So let's be honest because I am through
Holding my breath as my lungs breathe for you
The air is too thing inside this room
I need this like water in my lungs
We're drowning in silence
I'm biting my restless tongue
Cause we're too consumed and too shallow
playing the victims
Playing the innocent ones
But I'll find some way to cut myself open
Over and over again
And I'll find some way to bare it all
So let's be honest because I am through
Holding my breath as my lungs breathe for you
The air is too thin inside this room
I'm taking my life away from you
So lets be honest because I am through
Breaking my heart as my veins bleed for you
The air is too thin inside this room
So go breathe in the air
Leave me gasping for air
Just go and breathe
Everything I am
Forgetting what we fight for
Forgiving all we lose
Cause we're losing it all
The way things happen
Doing all we do to fill up the quiet
Break the awkward silence
Consuming our lives we are spending our time
Keeping our distance
And speaking trivial and trial
Over and over again
And I'll find some way to bare it all
Holding my breath as my lungs breathe for you
The air is too thing inside this room
We're drowning in silence
I'm biting my restless tongue
Cause we're too consumed and too shallow
playing the victims
Playing the innocent ones
But I'll find some way to cut myself open
Over and over again
And I'll find some way to bare it all
Holding my breath as my lungs breathe for you
The air is too thin inside this room
So lets be honest because I am through
Breaking my heart as my veins bleed for you
The air is too thin inside this room
So go breathe in the air
Leave me gasping for air
Just go and breathe
Everything I am

It’s the last thing I will speak of
It’s the last thing I will speak of
forgetting and forgiving should be reversed in the first verse.
i love this song.
wow this song brings tears to my eyes everytime. the part when he says "i'm taking my life away from you" just the way he sings it is amazing. and the part where he says "and so lets be honest because i am through breaking my heart as my veins bleed for you" is the part that makes my eyes water. the meaning of the song isn't exactly clear to me but i still think it's amazing
"and i'll find some way to cut myself open over and over again"
one of the most powerful lyrics.
also: "i need this like water in my lungs"
reminds me of matchbook romance "youre as welcome as cancer &my doors always open"
what can i say, we always accept things that hurt us.
"So let's be honest because I am through Holding my breath as my lungs breathe for you The air is too thin inside this room..."
so many nights listening to this has made it the ultimate song to get over that bitch...
This song is quickly becoming one of my favourites on Life In Dreaming. Very clever lyrics and beautiful musicianship.
'as my lungs breathe for you' hmm maybe like she depended on him too much so hes giving up....
all i can say is wow... this song is amazing the music is just so pretty and mellow....i love it.
