All the hours spent absorbing static light Slowly accumulate, a ledger that defines The total worth and value of a life Spinning circles And all the promises so confidently made To a quiet friend under a quiet grave Of mountains to be moved Potential not to waste To be constructive What a disappointment All the hours lost to self-directed hate Slowly pile up 'til you can't bear the weight But it's only the brain's worst chemicals Talking fake And that falling sky is just this desert's rain And that ticking bomb is just the body's way Of spelling out in Morse code "This could be okay" And I know you made a choice A different one than mine And I know that that's your right And I know you'll be just fine And I kind of wish you had The same respect for mine But I don't want to fight Because I know I'll be just fine In time And we're further away From the view that inspired us And we're further away From the knife that sliced us And we're further away From the view that inspired us And we're further away From the knife that sliced us
