You Weren't Meant To See That

(album: Into The Shallows - 2018)

I was in the other room
Just laying on the carpet
Sinking like a summer moon
Slipping through a tar pit

You weren't meant to see that
You weren't meant to see that

Of course there's joy in the mundane
Like hauling down the highway
But then I swerved into the other lane
And flipped over the barricades

You weren't meant to see that
You weren't meant to see that

I watched the windows shatter
As if it ever mattered
And for once in my life I see things for what they are
And not through the lens of profit and achievement
It's nothing when you need it
One of those fortune cookie proclamations
That I could never swallow
You weren't meant to see that
All the shit I should hold back
'Cause it's all in my head and I can see it through your swampy eyes
That I won't always be the only one for you
