lyrics

I want to wake you
And talk about the plan
It’s all the waiting around
Debating the meaning
I can’t stand
Without my worry
What am I then?
A reflection of art
Collection you start
Of what has been

I’ve been toiling for so long now
That I start to erode
Will you watch me implode?

It’s not right how you spoke it in code
When you knew you knew I was out in the road
Running around, searching by sound
Looking for truth in this puddle I found

I’ve often wondered
How long I can go
Holding my breath like this
The times I miss
I think I know
That if it’s higher
Higher than we count
You will be waiting for me
Translating you cynical account

I’ve been toiling for so long now
That I start to erode
Will you watch me implode?

It’s not right how you spoke it in code
When you knew you knew I was out in the road
Running around, searching by sound
Looking for truth in this puddle I found

And the hows and whys are obscured by
The insecurity you exemplify
You said it’s not my place - I oversimplify
But I can’t escape what you signify

Overloaded with excess tales and lies
I start to erode
Will you watch me implode?

It’s not right how you spoke it in code
When you knew you knew I was out in the road
Running around, searching by sound
Looking for truth in a puddle I found
