The Archives歌词

作词 : Brandon Bijan Carter
[Intro]
You are
In the archives (Archives)
The archives (Archives)
[Verse 1]
Trapped along the lines of the confines (Confines)
Where I'm divided and undecided (Deciding)
Packed up all what's mine, I grew strong binds (Binds)
Can't be reminded of it or keep pryin' (Pryin')
I covered up my mistakes with some flex tape (Tape)
And did it just for good measure like a suppressor (Suppressor)
I remember how you had control over my thoughts (Thoughts)
And I saw your face in еvery single person that walkеd past me
Thought I found the one to match me (Match me)
But all you did was gaslight and had me feelin' ghastly (Ghastly)
I needed Nightvision 'cause you left me in the dark (Dark)
The type of post-trauma that'll make you fall apart (Part)
Eventually, you reach an extremity
Thinkin' it's best if we
Go about this gingerly, steadily
Never had brevity
You say one thing, and meaning the other, was leadin' me on (Yeah)
Always liked to get on my nerves, my feelings is gone (Gone)
So, I'll force those moments down, and I'll take a swig (Swig)
Done takin' compressions, gotta get it off my chest (My chest)
Gone way out of range, can I even get a signal? (Signal)
I'm no longer hoardin'
But it doesn't make me less of a person
Tell me, was it worth it? The time and the effort (Effort)
Lookin' through these files, wonderin' if it ever rendered (Oh)
Withheld the information that I was supposed to show (Show)
It's in my best interest to make sure I don't know that—
[Pre-Chorus]
I just have ya hidin' in the back of my mind
Had nowhere else to put ya and believe me, I've tried
So, I keep ya stored away in an attic somewhere (Somewhere)
Like a stowaway, but I can't find ya out here (Out here)
Ya hidin' in the back of my mind (My mind)
Had nowhere else to put ya and believe me, I've tried (I've tried)
So, I keep ya stored away in an attic somewhere (Somewhere)
Like a stowaway, but I can't find ya out here (Out here)
[Chorus]
Searched the archives
Got me chasin' after ghosts (Ghosts)
Searched the archives
For someone, I used to know (Know)
Searched the archives (Archives), searched the archives (Archives)
Searched the archives
Got me lost in the abyss (Mist)
Searched the archives
For someone that I was with (With)
Searched the archives, searched the archives (Whoa)
[Verse 2]
Dread the days of living in a rugged warehouse (House)
'Til it wasn't lively, different type of shining (Shining)
Went insane from chillin', now I'm strugglin' to clear out (Out)
It's all in the writing, kept myself from spiraling (Spiraling)
When I took the role of detective, was so retrospective
I been on the road to redemption, doin' an assessment (Assessment)
Thought this was my final destination, spirit dyin' (Dying)
Fought when life was unfair, but I'm still biased (I'm gone)
[Pre-Chorus]
I just have ya hidin' in the back of my mind
Had nowhere else to put ya and believe me, I've tried
So, I keep ya stored away in an attic somewhere (Somewhere)
Like a stowaway, but I can't find ya out here (Out here)
Ya hidin' in the back of my mind (My mind)
Had nowhere else to put ya and believe me, I've tried (I've tried)
So, I keep ya stored away in an attic somewhere (Somewhere)
Like a stowaway, but I can't find ya out here (Out here)
[Chorus]
Searched the archives
Got me chasing after ghosts (Ghosts)
Searched the archives
For someone, I used to know (Know)
Searched the archives (Archives), searched the archives (Archives)
Searched the archives
Got me lost in the abyss (Mist)
Searched the archives
For someone that I was with (With)
Searched the archives, searched the archives (Whoa)
[Outro]
Ooh, ooh, oo-ooh, ooh, (By design), ooh
Ooh, ooh, oo-ooh, ooh, ooh (Ostracized), ooh
Archive, archive (Archived)
