lyrics

All these
old accomplishments
they told me
just imagine.
Don’t be
so reversible.
We all leave our footprints in the freshly formed dust.

Shall I
cage the circumstance
with eyelids
glued together?
I’ll feed
hungry animals
even though the signs instruct me not to, not to.

So lonesome that you can’t tag along (wait)
It’s only a slight when I am wrong (hey)

On foot in the hallway
My head, hasn’t burst yet
All these hollow words
Never follow through

My feet
stuck just underneath
this quicksand
and it holds me in place.
I'm sinking
so don't wait up for me.
I'll come out and get a grip just when I want to.

Inertia’s a word that comes to mind (wait/weight)
When nothing’s been done in quite some time (hey)

On foot in the hallway
My head, hasn’t burst yet
All these hollow words
Never follow through
