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
