lyrics

Thought that this would add up to something
Thought that steel sharpened steel with time
But while I discarded your flaws, you were just counting mine

Callouses on my skin grown in file
From the friction of my hands propping you up
Everything that’s light grows heavy after holding it awhile

Additive
Every cavity and crack
All the shards that you stack up
One by one
Additive
Not the love or the minutes
Just the fights, so we’re finished
Yeah we’re done

Just be honest, who do you root for?
When you let the smallest sparks start wars
Then from your faraday cage, you sit back and you keep score

Additive
Every cavity and crack
All the shards that you stack up
One by one
Additive
Not the love or the minutes
Just the fights, so we’re finished
Yeah we’re done

(Stop) analyzing
Just let your mechanism fall away
(Start) compromising
Before we’ve nothing left to save

Additive
Every cavity and crack
All the shards that you stack up
One by one
Additive
Not the love or the minutes
Just the fights, so we’re finished
Yeah we’re done

Additive
(Stop analyzing)
Every cavity and crack
All the shards that you stack up
One by one
(Just let your mechanism fall away)
Additive
(Start compromising)
Not the love or the minutes
Just the fights, so we’re finished
Yeah we’re done
(Before we’ve nothing left to save)
