Givin' back - KMurdock Music Group
You keep your words on a leash short and tight
Move like a shadow just outside the light
I used to fill the space talking till my throat was raw
Trying to decipher your self-imposed law
But the air got so thin
I ran out of breath
Chasing the warmth in the orbit of your death
Be quiet so I'm learning your language of absence and stone
Yeah I'm taking a lesson in how to be alone together
Used to ask what you were thinking
Used to try and break the spell
Now I just sit back and get comfortable
In this hell you want a quiet little contest baby that's a game for two
I'm just taking all my cues from you
So I'm turning down the volume
Getting colder by the day
If you want a conversation
You can meet me halfway
I can be an echo chamber
I can be a vacant space
Got this look of indifference painted on my face
This ain't a punishment darling
It's just a simple fact you only get the energy that you're giving back
I see the flicker in your eyes a momentary glitch
You're not used to me not trying to scratch your every itch
You drop a loaded question expect me to ignite
But I just let it hang there and stare into the night
My world used to spin on an axis you designed
Now the orbit is broken I left all that behind
You search for a reaction a signal or a sign
But the frequency you're looking for is no longer mine
You're asking what I'm thinking you're trying to break the spell
Looks like you're finally getting uncomfortable
In this hell you started up a contest but now you want it through
Too bad I'm only taking my cues from you
So I'm turning down the volume
Getting colder by the day
If you want a conversation
You can meet me halfway
I can be an echo chamber
I can be a vacant space
Got this look of indifference painted on my face
This ain't a punishment darling
It's just a simple fact you only get the energy that you're giving back
You finally noticed the drought now that you're thirsty
You miss the fire now that my hands are clean
You want the heat I gave you
You want the noise I made
But you're the one who taught me how this silent game is played
Yeah I'm turning down the volume
Getting colder by the day
If you want a conversation
You can meet me halfway
I can be an echo chamber
I can be a vacant space
Got this look of indifference painted on my face
This ain't a punishment darling
It's just a simple fact you only get the energy that you're giving back
Giving back
The energy you're giving me back
I'm just a mirror now can you handle that
Can you handle that
Can you handle that
That you're giving back
