lyrics

Is it naive to reach for something great,
When you’re stuck in heaps of good?
Another decent night slowly soured by,
a brooding, self-effacing mood.

unmet expectations always looming

Sleight of hand is only half the show,
while the more you build, the more that can break.
Frenzied fear following the dog that caught the car,
swallows a loss that’s hard to taste.

One more mistep, painting over history.

you left the morning lights on,
a fading pink, awakes the autumn.

A distant line holds the golden curve
an endless gaze stretched by a senseless urge.
The tallest shadows grieve their mortal bones.
The foolish pause, bask in the afterglow.
What’s left of me now?

when is enough enough
