It's like a catalyst
Where I'm running out of words
Because the words I can't say
Aren't there
It's the
Feeling old while I'm drinking coffee
Feeling young absorbed into a book
Almost feeling me when I
Reach that space
In between
There's a moment staring at the tv
Excited because someone got kissed
Seconds when I write a sentence
Knowing it's nonsense
But there's a pause
And falling to one side
(My back acting up)
(Giggling while I run)
Searching for a domestic peace
Being pushed to the side
Searching for
Growing up
Maybe
It's hard
Tensions that shouldn't exist
Tensions that aren't seen by anyone else
Pulling away in an effort to walk the line
Searching for a balance
In between the tension
It feels like a catalyst

It's like a catalyst
Where I'm running out of words

Feeling young absorbed into a book
Almost feeling me when I
Reach that space
In between
There's a moment staring at the tv
Excited because someone got kissed
Seconds when I write a sentence
Knowing it's nonsense
But there's a pause
And falling to one side
(My back acting up)
(Giggling while I run)
Searching for a domestic peace
Being pushed to the side
Searching for
Growing up
Maybe
It's hard
Tensions that shouldn't exist
Tensions that aren't seen by anyone else
Pulling away in an effort to walk the line
Searching for a balance
In between the tension
It feels like a catalyst
