lyrics

drift.
drift.

trading stares, but don't speak a word. we play it fair, but can't we converse?
this air we inhale is awkward. these barriers don't seem to work.
I'd take down walls if it's even worth it. I see the door, but the key is worthless...
I'd rather flee for certain. What it takes for me to turn it...
is more than I thought. Eyes on the prize. It costs more than I brought.
I should be highly secure, but I'm not. Love and Desire's a war that I fought...
for way too long. Surely, I'm caught. You're what I sought, but
I walk away awfully salty. You know that you coulda' called me.
But, oh well.
Put the blame on me.
I can take your Evil.
They all see the truth.
It's impossible to love me.

(Hook):
unwanted. unloveable. I'd touch your soul,
but these rough hands, these rough hands..
These rough hands are best kept to themselves.
With something so fragile, they just won't sit still.
Still, you're stealing my own.
You're stealing my own.
These rough hands are best kept to themselves.
With something so fragile, they just won't sit still.

drift.
drift.

It's telekinetic. We are connected. I say not a word because being rejected,
isn't a thing that that I need. I'm lettin' it slip instead of seeing where we're headed.
I know you don't get it, but I don't get you. Why can't you tell that my past is a mess and...
keeps me from steppin' to you and speaking; expressing my feelings like I'm in confession?
It can't just be me, 'cause you won't make the first move.
You don't expect it from me, and you're afraid of it, too.
God, I have sinned. Ruined your fate. Nail me to cross. Don't loosen the stakes.
I am the one who's in the way. But, I am sure she's assumin' the same.
Like, "oh well."
Put the blame on me.
I can take your Evil.
They all see the truth.
It's impossible to love me.

(Hook):
unwanted. unloveable. I'd touch your soul,
but these rough hands, these rough hands..
These rough hands are best kept to themselves.
With something so fragile, they just won't sit still.
Still, you're stealing my own.
You're stealing my own.
These rough hands are best kept to themselves.
With something so fragile, they just won't sit still.

Put the blame on me.
They all see the truth.
It's impossible to love me.
