lyrics

well I don’t want to be the same as I was in those days
the water is rising and it’s swallowing everyone it meets
oh but what about you? you were just stuck in a rhetorical coincidence
just trying to take a guess at what should go on in your head

but where do you go when every day of your life is dictated by the chance of rain?
confusion in the streets, people trying to find some shelter from the shade
so we base our decisions on a spontaneous and flawed thought process and then I guess
it will all make sense sometime soon

well I’m afraid of the spaces in between
what is wild, and what is obscene?

so take a breather, you might be fine in a while
you know it won’t be any different the next time it comes around
well I guess I’ve been learning all my life and I’ve only just realised that nothing is the same,
people rearrange, and they ain’t ever even worth your time

so tell me how you feel whilst you’re making it look like you’re not even trying at all
I’m pretty sure it must be tiring trying to keep your place up on that pedestal
and tell me what it’s like to live a life which just seems so uneventful
you’re drowned in your own self-appeal and you don’t care about anything else at all

well i’m afraid of the spaces in between
tell me what is real and what is a dream?
