lyrics

Living through death in my car
Passing through things I thought would go away
Can’t tell if it’s due to age
or something I cannot change

Watching the things I can’t stand
to learn about things I cannot understand
Making a friend of the night
to try and render feelings of light

If the moment wants to stand still, then I don’t know
Though my past tells me to look back, I must look down and go
The cold air is back and it breathes down my spine
Living and breathing at the same time

This tenderness I’ve never known
I can feel a warmth radiate from my phone
Volatile states dissipate
For a solution, I’ll never wait

The way the sun looks at me some days feels sublime
Like a song I used to love, I want a pizza and a bottle of wine
Whether this is melancholic or jubilant is not mine
Living and breathing at the same time
