Grinning at the Abyss

[Verse 1] Lantern eyes In a dead-end town I trace your name On a cracked-screen phone Cheap perfume On a stranger’s coat I chase a ghost Down a one-way road [Chorus] I’m grinning at the abyss Dancing on the edge of it (oh) If I fall I fall like this No regret Just evidence I’m laughing in the dark Where you carved your fading mark If I break I break like glass Cut the past Let it pass [Verse 2] Flicker thoughts Like a faulty light Every truth Comes out at night You say “breathe” But my lungs burn cold I wear my fear Like a ring of gold [Chorus] I’m grinning at the abyss Dancing on the edge of it (yeah) If I fall I fall like this Every scar a testament I’m laughing in the dark Echo of a stolen heart If I break I break like glass Cut the past Let it pass
