lyrics

Foul ball in flight.
Warm, speckled light.
Barefoot on a carpet,
brown hair in your eyes.
Peppermint Tea leaves.
Cupboards that creak.
These fantasies betray me
like poorly tailored seams.

I remember when
it all shifted.
Took everything you had
and gave back nothing.
And what they say about me
is completely true.
In love with the pursuit
but too afraid to catch you.

I can't explain
my motivations
for pushing you away,
for my seclusion.
You could disregard the pain
and call it selfish
but I remember when we
sang a common chorus.

I am alone
because I choose to stay alone.
I am afraid
because I choose to stay afraid.

We live on borrowed time.
Someday I will die
and there is nothing waiting for me
on the other side.
Yet, still I hesitate and repeat past mistakes
I know I'll never learn my lesson until its too late.
And by the time the summer storms were over
the dam up in the mountains couldn't hold the water.
I just laid down in the street
and waited for it to take me
as it washed the city clean,
a quiet, violent victory.
