lyrics

We swallow down

Sunrise can’t come fast enough
I’ve been breaching for the weekend nights
For some sign I’ll find

We could waste some time
Hollowed out or within light
We can waste some time
Wander aloud at the swells in tide
Have I been searching in the sea and skies
For someone or someone to follow

We can waste some time
Won’t wallow now in wrong or right
We can waste some time
Laugh in the face to feel alive
Does burden rest in body or mind?
Bottom out and leave behind

We can waste some time, swallow down

Laughing in the face of nothing another time, to strive to feel alive
Pull the rabbit out of the hat not just once or twice, there’s charm in the third time
At the end of the day I’ll say my last words, the moth toward the light
I will take a leap off of, instead of die upon the hill that’s idolized

Laughing in the face of nothing I create to strive to feel alive
Pull the rabbit out of the hat not just once or twice, there’s charm in the third time
I will take a leap off of, instead of die upon the hill that’s idolized
At the end of the day do we have a choice, the body or the mind
