Tread water
Feel human again
They watched you
Find solace in rubber bands
And you've fought to
Hide them inside your hands

Feel it fall off of your shoulders
And burn like your last cigarette

Lie in wait
For the final chance
Wonder if your peace
Looks just like your regrets
So close to bliss
Or feeling anything again

Blurring faces
Easy enough to forget
What's unchanging
What blows away in the wind
What are just moments
Permanence sneaks inside your head

And feel it fall off of your shoulders
And burn like your last cigarette
Wither away with the embers
Could've been better than this

Lie in wait
For the final chance
Wonder if your peace
Looks just like your regrets
So close to bliss
Or feeling anything again

I want to stay
I want to stay
A song I wrote for my band (check us out on Instagram @concretegnomesnj)
