Raccoon Wants You Back

You said run I said stay The city smiled And took your name I saw it in your breathing Before the blood came through A place you never left behind Was opening under you You looked at every corner Like it knew where you had been Like Raccoon had a heartbeat And it wanted you again I thought I held the answer I thought the fire was clean But the city used my terror Like a match inside the machine Raccoon wants you back I heard it in the walls It wore my voice to call you down Then watched the ceiling fall Raccoon wants you back And I gave it what it lacked A survivor with a broken heart Raccoon wants you back I never walked your first night I never wore that rain But I can feel it in the silence Like a fever in my name My mother left the doorway You came to pull me through And every road out of the nightmare Bent itself around you If I call it fate, I lose you If I call it choice, I break So I call it what I know now A city that knows how to wait It waited in your bloodstream It waited in my fear It waited for the gold room And it found its way back here Raccoon wants you back I heard it in the walls It wore my voice to call you down Then watched the ceiling fall Raccoon wants you back And I gave it what it lacked A survivor with a broken heart Raccoon wants you back You said run I said stay Raccoon smiled And took your name
