Lyrics:
[Verse 1]
Try not to get so righteous
About what's fair for everyone
Find what's left in you
Channel something good
[Chorus]
Try your best to slowly withdraw
From the darkest impulses of your heart
Try your best to feel and receive
Your body is a blade that cuts a path from day to day
[Verse 2]
Calling it off, our hoax of trying
What's this place if you're not here?
Emptied the house and staged it for buying
Wave goodbye to all your things
[Instrumental Interlude]
[Chorus 2]
Try your best to slowly withdraw
Try your best to slowly withdraw
Your body is a blade that moves while your brain is writhing
Knuckled under pain, you mourn but your blood is flowing
