Arm's Length

(album: The Road, Pt. 1 - 2017)

Kept at an arm's length
Just had your heart wrenched
Gave up your last strength
Now you're trapped in the past tense

Defeat, deceit, the seat, you seem beat
Delete, discreet, the treat now un-sweet
Repeat the feat then leave it un-neat
Retreat from heat, recline in your seat now

Don't know what you're in for
You're not sure what's in store
Give less then I take more
How much can you endure

Talk is cheap, I'd rather not speak
Endorphins leak, they're harmful, now breathe
Reach your peak and climax with ease
Breach your speech, alarming sounds screech

Hold me, at arm's length you hold me
Gave up your last strength to keep me away
Let go, let go, let go, let
Hold me, at arm's length you hold me
Gave up your last strength to keep me away
Let go, let go, let go, let

Whenever wherever, feeling the pressure
Sickness or health, knowledge or wealth
Worse or for better
Despite the endeavour, no, nothing's for ever
Making it count, using my mouth 'till the day after never

Hold me, at arm's length you hold me
Gave up your last strength to keep me away
Let go, let go, let go, let
Hold me, at arm's length you hold me
Gave up your last strength to keep me away
Let go, let go, let go, let go

Own space
Deceit you seem beat (let go)
Own space
Recline in your seat (let go)
Own space
Deceit you seem beat (let go)
Own space
Recline in your seat (let go)
Own space
Deceit you seem beat (let go)
