The Wild Reeds Not An Option Lyrics

[Intro]

[Verse 1]
My blood gets thinner when I drink
You doubt, make you love me
And my heart gets stronger when it bleeds
It happens so quick, like skinning your knees

[Pre-Chorus]
All of my sadness boils down to one fact
I want someone to do what I can't do for myself

[Chorus]
But that's not an option, I'm only human
Nostalgia lies and sets the truth on fire

[Verse 2]
My house cries when I leave
All my fingerprints, on the doors, they turn pink
Pink like my mind when I think about you
It's not often the world hands it to you

[Pre-Chorus]
All of my sadness boils down to one fact
I want someone to do what I won't do for myself

[Chorus]
That's not an option, I'm only human
Nostalgia lies and sets the truth on fire

You're not a savior, but I wish that you were
And with each little lie we set the world on fire

[Bridge]
I've been sifting through my dreams
And I'm looking for the clues
Gathering the evidence
Chasing down the muse
But the maps have no coordinates
No footsteps to follow in

[Verse 2]
Somedays, when the sky is clear
I believe we can undo the lies that got us here
