Comets

(album: Matinée - 2022)

I can't get away from this
I feel it all the time
See through all the blinds
Hear the calling night
I can't get away from this
I just can't let it die
Everyone's alive
I'm just getting by

I can't find my place in this
I feel like there's no time
I keep my pace and stride
I walk between the lines
I can't find my way in this
I'm just a little tired
I wish I didn't try
So hard to fill as high as you

But you could help to steady till
I can pick myself up from my knees
By standing still as the world tilts
I guess I was made before the comets cratered hills
Everything was straight but now the lakes spill

I can't hear you call my name
It's just not one I know
It used to be my home
Now haunted by a ghost

I can't hear the song the same
I used to love the notes
Like walking childhood roads
My friends are all too old to play

But you could help to steady till
I can pick myself up from my knees
By standing still as the world tilts
I guess I was made before the comets cratered hills
Everything was straight but now the lakes spill

To the river, to the ocean, to the clouds
To the hurricane that rages down
To the rubble, today I found
I can't get away from this, a subtlety so loud
I can't get away from this now

I can't get away from this
I feel it all the time
See through all the blinds
Hear the calling night
I can't get away from this
I just can't let it die
Everyone's alive
I'm just getting by
