On The Cinder “Pure Mess“

“Pure Mess“ is from On The Cinder’s new album Heavy-Handed. Follow along at: Lyrics: We start as ideas Loose concepts initially Lines take shape from gray to flesh In random assembly But we’re not blank, born pure in this mess Predisposed before we know our sins we need to confess I can’t shake the impending feeling I’ve waited for you How can I keep you Without smothering what you need? Space to grow, the air to breathe How can I keep you Without getting in your way? Fight or flight Deep-seated inheritance Knowing when to take a stand Or when you don’t stand a chance How did you hold it together? Were you just dealing cards or were we next on the tether? But we’re not blank, born pure in this mess Predisposed before we know all those we need to impress I can’t shake the impending feeling everything will change I don’t know what to do I could cause more damage than I ever meant to I don’t know what to do With color, context, there’s so much misunderstood I don’t know what to do I could cause more damage than any good I can’t shake the impending feeling I’ve waited for you We’re not blank, born pure in this mess Decomposed before we know our sins we never confessed How can I keep you? How can I keep you here? Starring Chris Buhr
