lyrics

Last night there was a war between
What I feel and what I need
What I need is just a memory
Of our own streets, with the city shutting down

Last night I couldn’t close my eyes
Without the visions, blinding lights
All the things that I have kept inside
Have chased me down and held me to the floor

And I felt so untethered, unalive
Some things are better left in dreams
They told me time and time again

And I felt so untethered that I might
Let go of everything pretend
Get something real, nothing more

I guess I’m living through it now
Maybe we’ll both be happy later
Guess I am close to saying aloud
Feet don’t fail me now again, again

I guess I’m standing on the line
Wishing the past was in my favour
But it’s far too early now to be
Turning inside out again, again

Full, completely, slumber sweetly
One voice in my head
But those who knew me
See right through me
And my sleeves painted red

Last night I couldn’t close my eyes
Without my mother’s wish goodnight
What words will bring the angel cries
One more longing, closer to the shore

Last time I felt the words in me
One beautiful measure of energy
Been that way since the war began
And holding back gets harder when alone

I guess I’ll keep living through it now
(At) least maybe you’ll be happy later
It’s not what I want but how
Can I be selfish, proud again, again

I guess there is too much on the line
And I was never my own saviour
I best be making up my time
Making up my mind again, again
