Inertia

Music & Lyrics by Tahiti Rey

“It says an object at rest, will remain at rest, unless affected by an outside force. Her name was Jenny.”

Lyrics

Verse 1

Your face is grey

So close but so far away

The broken phone on the floor

Your vault of lies it stored

Verse 2

My heartbeat quickens

As my blood thickens

My mind’s a cloud of things undone

And those unborn

Chorus 1

Don’t you dare

You stay right there

Pretending to care

When I can still smell her in your hair

Verse 3

Twelve years it took to get us here

All my life’s plans were held in your filthy hands

Chorus 2

Don’t say a word

I don’t need to know her name

It’s written on the guilty lines

All over your face

Bridge

Inertia, I’m not enough

Verse 4

Your face is clear

Drenched in your grown-up tears

And for the first time

And the last time

I don’t care
