Album: When Facing the Things We Turn Away From (2021)

  • In and out of focus, moments that I keep
    Something for the pain and something so I sleep
    Won't you comfort me?
    Warm the air that I breathe
    Visceral in doses, hiding in the seams
    Standing on the sun and I don't feel a thing
    Won't you comfort me?
    Take the fear I don't need

    I wake up every morning with the years ticking by
    I'm missing all these memories, maybe they were never mine
    I feel the walls are closin', I'm running out of the time
    I think I missed the gun at the starting line

    Tell me, am I broken? I can never leave
    Biting on my tongue and checking if it bleeds
    Oh, is it lost on me?
    All the things I believe
    Something like an omen I can never keep
    Moving on and on, so very bittersweet
    Is it lost on me?
    All the things I don't need

    I wake up every morning with the years ticking by
    I'm missing all these memories, maybe they were never mine
    I feel the walls are closin', I'm running out of the time
    I think I missed the gun at the starting line

    Take me alive, make me a liar
    Take me alive
    Don't look away until it's gone
    'Til it's gone
    Take me alive, make me a liar
    Take me alive
    Don't look away until it's gone
    'Til it's gone

    I wake up every morning with the years ticking by
    I'm missing all these memories, maybe they were never mine
    I feel the walls are closin', I'm running out of the time
    I think I missed the gun at the starting line

    Take me alive, make me a liar
    Take me alive
    Don't look away until it's gone
    'Til it's gone
    Take me alive, make me a liar
    Take me alive
    Don't look away until it's gone
