lyrics

this little life alone
I've been longing for, off the register
you won't suppose, be rid your valiant seed
and the fractured reflection you lose

when you can't beat the dream
I'm like don't
you think you'd rather wait to go?
I think I'd rather take too long
that means like
writing on the edges of the counter and
counting up the minutes left of light and
lighting all four candles like some altar and
altering the angles so we might
feel mighty like the power that you spoke of
when even speaking couldn't get it right

andthenitwasasifthesilencewassighingandkeepinguscompany
definitelyandwasityouthattalkedmeintoactingshattered?
probablyyoucanpushmewayoutofline
that'showyoubringittolifelikewarandbackandforth
am I that prone to lie?
