Wide Eyes

(album: Built To Last - 2023)

I can't spend another night thinking all of the thoughts I know I can't take back
I can't spend another day reminiscing over the way the blood went bad
Came to the city I thought I found my place
I didn't know that I'd need a second face
Everybody says that they know me but I don't know them back
And I'm glad

If all we are is fleeting what's the price to pay
Didn't think I'd make it here, that's my mistake
Feels like everybody here knows what to say
But I don't plan on staying long

Wide eyes
Questioning the moment
White lies
Masking every motive
This time
Don't think I'm coming back
I made my peace at last
Hope you're okay with that

Wanted coast of California
Decorum that only gave me chills
Spent all of my time chasing more
But I can't afford the thrill
But I will

If all we are is fleeting what's the price to pay
Didn't think I'd make it here, that's my mistake
Feels like everybody here knows what to say
But I don't plan on staying long

Wide eyes
Questioning the moment
White lies
Masking every motive
This time
Don't think I'm coming back
I made my peace at last
Hope you're okay with that

Lost my mind
Looking for truth
But all I found was lies
They made a mess of me
And passed me by
Don't think I'm coming back
I've made my peace at last
Hope that you're okay with that

Patience waning, complacent
Placate, intoxicate me
Tongue-tied my mind is made up
Nobody here gets a second chance
Why should I

Wide eyes
Questioning the moment
White Lies
Masking every motive
This time
Don't think I'm coming back
I made my peace at last
Hope you're okay with that

Lost my mind
Looking for truth
But all I found was lies
They made a mess of me
And passed me by
Don't think I'm coming back
I made my peace at last
Hope that you're okay with that

Patience waning, complacent
Placate, intoxicate me
Tongue-tied my mind is made up
I've made my peace at last
Hope that you're okay with that
