We fail
On lost time
we curse
those bright eyes
We struggle
with close ties
Make sense
sleep still
break dawn
burn down
we curse
those eyes
To speak so much with so little said, I know
that I’ve been choking on these unheard words again
and to step forward and never reach the end
I’ve been stumbling on these unwalked steps again
To shout hushed words at the walls inside these homes
I’ve been failing at the simplest things I’ve known
I’m choking but I’ll never change
I’m stumbling but I’ll never change
and I’m failing but I’ll never change a thing
speak the softest faintest words so slow
curse the only road that takes you home
“I’ve been speaking so
I’ve been missing out
I’ve been burning ties
and spreading ashen lies
I’ve been reading more
and understanding less
I’ve been reading more
and trying to hide the stress
I’ve been speaking so
I’ve been missing out
I’ve been burning ties
and spreading ashen lies
speak the softest faintest words so slow
curse the only road that takes you home
speak the softest faintest words so slow
curse the only road that takes you home
So say “I’ve been just fine”
To say “I’ll be just fine”
So say “I’ve been just fine”
To say “I’ll be just fine”
