lyrics

Sinking now I discovered a Dove
I've been down so long I forgot that I could look up
Thinking now through these blocks that I've learned to love
How do you know when enough's enough
Why could I never tell?

Ch-ch-ch choking down a cumbersome story
Detachments always worked out so well for me
Eaten alive by the empty but
One must remember Sisyphus happy
Could I ever escape this hell?

Wash away the pains of days and show me how to breathe
Because the will that's in us still never really leaves
I've been inviting in familiar sin
Devaluing the meaning
Of what it takes to be awake
Farewell I will outgrow this short-lived teething

Maukish tales of times mis-remembered
There's not glory in glibness nor tremors
Connections always taste sweeter after
Choking down awkward lines
Watch the wrinkles smooth in time
This too shall pass into catharsis that will last

Wash away the pains of days and show me how to breathe
Because the will that's in us still never really leaves
I've been inviting in familiar sin
Devaluing the meaning
Of what it takes to be awake
Farewell I will outgrow this short-lived teething

Wasted time the days I spent away from my self from my self
The distaste of healthy ways of asking for help
The small sensibilities are killing me

So wash away the pains of days and show me how to breathe
Because the will that's in us still never really leaves
I've been inviting in familiar sin
Devaluing the meaning
Of what it takes to be awake
Farewell I will outgrow this short-lived teething
