Written in 2013.

lyrics

If mistakes in our plans don't kill us
What will kill us then?
And if the blood in my hands didn't come from inside
Where did it then?
And if our lives will be different
Well, let them be different then.

And I don't know what's in those notes that I wrote
But I remember them
And if the truth isn't in at least one
Then I don't know what is
And if there's one word to make it clear
I'm sure that I refrained from it

Because I've got more dirt in my mouth
Than under my feet
And I think that it's starting to bother me
And catharsis just refuses to come quickly
It's slowing down my bones
Slowing down my bones and making me walk
Gracefully.

Fear is a radio whisper of a song I used to play
And as long as I'm deceiving myself I can hear my name
But the static sounds alright, I think that
I will let it play today.

And I didn't mean to give the game away
That's just how it works
And I will make a list to apologize to everyone I hurt
And if you think that I'd mislead you, yeah
You can bet I would

Because I've got more dirt in my mouth
Than under my feet
And I think that it's starting to bother me
And catharsis just refuses to come quickly
It's slowing down my bones
Slowing down my bones and making me walk
Gracefully.
