lyrics

you found yourself surrounded by
a crowd of smiling people.
you looked down to the ground,
& thought,
‘if only i could go back—
carve a new path—
maybe i would be
happy too.’

you stepped inside your room to find
that everything had vanished.
you lied down on the floor,
& thought,
‘if only i had not been
so dependent
on those objects, i wouldn’t feel
this empty.’

you were dragged down by your pale heart,
to the graveyard, to your father.
you saw the rock, & stared, & thought,
‘if only i’d been there more,
he’d have been less worn
by the winter, but
it’s too late.’

well, the past won’t change
for anyone.
& all that’s left is the wraith
of a setting sun.
but you got lost,
swimming in your memories.
& got hung up
on a face you couldn’t keep;
yeah, it’s a race you’ll never lead—
& that’s for sure.
