lyrics

You say that you want it,
you say that it’s real,
but as the wind blows
you change how you feel.
Words are just thoughts
correlating to sound,
and actions speak loudest
when no one’s around.

I’m lighting another
as the dust settles in.
I think I’ll bow out
its your fight to win.

The tree outside my window’s
been weeping for days.
It reminds me of the year
I spent in a haze.
All rivers run south.
I’m swimming upstream.
I’m sorry I can’t be
all that you need.

I’m leaving you behind
I know that you’ll be fine
I know that I’m just wasting time
This is the end of the line.

I’m lighting another
as the dust settles in.
I think I’ll bow out
its your fight to win.

The idea of class
is a war in my head.
I don’t know what I’m getting at.
I’ll leave it unsaid.
You can’t replace one
being with another.
I’ll be a dead man,
you’ll be my mother.

I’m leaving you behind
I know that you’ll be fine
I know that I’m just wasting time
This is the end of the line.

I’m lighting another
as the dust settles in.
I think I’ll bow out
its your fight to win.

I’m leaving you behind
I know that you’ll be fine
I know that I’m just wasting time
This is the end of the line.
