Dying To Believe

(album: Jump Rope Gazers - 2020)

It's such a pity I can feel you building up to
A hurt eruption I won't try to interrupt
You are high and mighty and unlikely to learn lessons
These days I'm struggling to stand my own reflection

It always looks backwards
From the way that I imagine

Go easy (Go easy)
You know it isn't worth the fight
And you're losing every match you set alight
It burns me (It burns me)
But I'll smile through the heat
I'm dying to believe that you won't be the death of me

I'm sorry for the way that I can't hold conversations
They're such a fragile thing to try support the weight of
It's not that I don't think that my point of view is valid
It's just that I can't stand the sound of my own patterns

They always look backwards
From the way that I imagine

Go easy (Go easy)
You know it isn't worth the fight
And you're losing every match you set alight
It burns me (It burns me)
But I'll smile through the heat
I'm dying to believe that you won't be the death of me (Believe, be the death of me)

The next station is Ōrākei
In the interest of safety, please keep all doorways and aisles clear of objects
Trying (Trying)
Though I know it isn't right
I'm still trying (Trying)
With the tension running high
And the temp rising (Rising)
Well I know it isn't right
I'm still trying and denying

(Ah, ooh) There was a weight that you were weighing down on me
(Ah, ooh) Six months ago so I could hardly breathe
(Ah, ah) And now I'm lighter finally, yeah

Go easy (Go easy)
You know it isn't worth the fight
And you're losing every match you set alight
It burns me (It burns me)
But I'll smile through the heat
I'm dying to believe that you won't be the death of me (Believe, be the death of me)

We are now arriving at Ōrākei
