lyrics

suddenly everything i'd complicated rolled in and washed up over me (an empty shell washed out to sea). i overpowered all my best intentions, i mistook numbness for serene (a clumsy scramble towards control). and even as the words kept spilling out, my heart split, alive, but misaligned like a fault line. there's a sadness in this world that gets to us in different ways, but it always gets to us. everything felt literal and temporary, gossamer and paper-thin (a frustrated apparition). i am a gong resounding, resonating, a cymbal clattering. at times the argument felt like nothing more than desperately alone and desperately unsure. i'm trying not to be so desperately alone. the war is over.
