lyrics

[Verse 1]
Looking down, then look away
For the sun isn't what's shining on my face
Same old story that I know
It's the one that doesn't pass by without note
And as the light strikes light-brown streaks
And the magenta polyester
It gives me a touch of hope
'Til I read the story's note
Feel the heavy ocean air upon my face
Waves crash and disappear without a trace
Giving way to the sea, a constant change
As the tenants of my mind shift their gaze
Searching for another way

[Chorus]
Someday, somehow
These walls within which I'm enclosed
Will raze themselves down, you suppose
Someday, but not now
This sight of all that I've been shown
Will hold my path
But my light is static today

[Verse 2]
While the bottoms of my heels begin to ache
As I feign to comprehend another's take
As we walk, these damn words bring back
The memories of all the things
That I tried to ignore and forget
But these words in silence are what's needed
To allow for something more
Before falling into regret

[Chorus]
Someday, somehow
These walls within which I'm enclosed
Will raze themselves down, you suppose
Someday, somehow
But not now, the time's out
Just hold it back
'Cause it's all just static
And some way it grinds down
'Til all of this small talk's exposed
So let the film burn as it shows
As skin meets skin, regrets grow thin
The thoughts are thought, no care for sin
So don't hold back
There's no holding back anymore!
