Screaming lyrics

[Verse 1]

Am I the deer?

Am I the headlights?

I know that I can't slow down

Everything fractures in the light

And I stand by watching it burn

[Pre-Chorus]

And I used to laugh at the broken glass

I should probably paper over all the cracks

Took a photograph of the aftermath

I should probably look less fondly on the past

[Chorus]

Silent screaming at the ceiling

Wondering when I lost heart

And time's been stealing all my dreams

And I no longer look the part

[Post-Chorus]

And I used to laugh at the broken glass

I should probably paper over all the cracks

Took a photograph of the aftermath

I should probably look less fondly on the past

[Verse 2]

Am I the butcher?

Am I the knife if I don't know what all this is for?

I used to read myself to death

But I don't see the point anymore

[Chorus]

Silent screaming at the ceiling

Wondering when I lost heart

And time's been stealing all my dreams

And I no longer look the part

[Post-Chorus]

And you used to laugh at the broken glass

I should probably paper over all the cracks

Took a photograph of the aftermath

I should probably look less fondly on the past

On the past

[Outro]

Am I the deer?

Am I the headlights?

I know that I can't slow down
