lyrics

I quake as I walk by the door and pretend I feel alive.
I lose myself in the fear and palpitation that breaks me down when you’ve gone to sleep.

When you are gone, my body works itself into a mess of broken pieces of the limbs I had
They carry me through these bitter days that last far more than their time.

Sometimes I lose track of my self-conscious and bitter way of feeling when you’re here.
The simplest of your many tender motions gives me another way to disappear.

I lose myself as I go through the motions. I fall asleep in the air.
The shaking ground is now firmer around me. The statues will come alive again.

Let’s turn our backs on all the angry stares of tired people
and fall asleep under the clear blue light.
The hands inspired by the craftsmanship of shattered timelines
will find their way, until the water flows into the same blue line.

Sometimes I lose track of my self-conscious and bitter way of feeling when you’re here.
The simplest of your many tender motions gives me another way to disappear.

Sometimes I lose track of my self-conscious and bitter way of feeling when you’re here.
The simplest of your many tender motions gives me another way to disappear.

(Ethan Allred, 2011)
