Stay Up

(album: Reflections - 2020)

Here we go again
I buried myself too deep within
The clock moves faster (It's always after)
That I can find some common ground with my severed ties

So here I am
A broken shell of everything I said I wasn't but turned into in the end
A selfish friend
Too busy taking time for only me a thoughtless trap that's locked inside my head

I should've known
That I'm breaking my back just to carry this weight alone
Cut to the bone
Too busy losing my mind over thoughts of never finding home
Stay up stay up
Pretend like I never meant to fall this low
Wait up wait up
Descend like we're living in an afterglow

Descend like we're living in an afterglow

Take a look around at what's inside
Before I tear it down in oversight
I'll pace around my head these thoughts confined
To a bitter place I can't describe

But now I can't just go and ignore myself
Like I always used to do before
Because I've got to stop and take my time
To let space breath and blossom growth

I should've known
That I'm breaking my back just to carry this weight alone
Cut to the bone
Too busy losing my mind over thoughts of never finding home
Stay up stay up
Pretend like I never meant to fall this low
Wait up wait up
Descend like we're living in an afterglow

I should've known
That I'm breaking my back just to carry this weight alone
Cut to the bone
Too busy losing my mind over thoughts of never finding home
Stay up stay up
Pretend like I never meant to fall this low
Wait up wait up
Descend like we're living in an afterglow

Descend like we're living in an afterglow
