about

Inspired by Hannah.

lyrics

I watch the minutes pass
haze across the limits
last I heard
it was a piece of cake
but no one ever came
back from that sleeping state
I never finished my search
for real estate
beyond the distance of what's barely safe
Live out my days as an introvert
catch my breath on the sidewalk, in between steps
Just to trip on words and digest all the noise
to keep up the levels I guess
I guess I fill the void
in my chest with the voice in my head
Climb the tallest hedge
to bet my last dollar against the thread of fate
that connects me to every-which-way I never came
If I've ever laid my hands on a body in shame
I'm sorry, but that's the way that I was raised
Everything is replaced by bigger wastes of space
or so they say, as I
state my name

Looking through the thinnest glass
I see out
Into me

I don't look half bad in the cold
shoveling my way to a bad back, I suppose
Uphold my rules, my way of life, my ideals
anything that feels right
my friendships are like abandoned houses
in that they're beautiful untouched
nothing about them changes
no matter how much is undone
plain jane with her diamond ring
and the chipper one always bringing down the whole team
I'm an insignificant part of their lives
but I try to make sure that this part is the best of their time
and i do anything to keep them around but
I know we're drifting and that's just fine for now
soon it'll all go away
and I won't know what to do
not sure if everything will be okay
but I know they're out there somewhere, living their lives
and I hope to be doing the same
even if I'm in a different place and time
nothing ever really changes
as long as you know
they're somewhere out there for you
even if you forget where they go

Looking through the thinnest glass
I see out
Into me
