I, Eclipse

(album: Mirrorcell - 2022)

Stuck where we are
We close our eyes until we disappear
We've gone so far
But still we're always gonna be right here
How didn't we know?
I looked around but there was nowhere to go

A life of isolation
And I saw it coming to be
I looked for the world but I just found me
I felt like I was trying
And I thought I was doing okay
I'm the eclipse in the middle of my day

Now we're a star
You tell me, "Are we where we wanted to be?"
'Cause we're not that far
We only open up for others to see
How didn't we know
That we'd be boiled up right down to our bones?
Until we realized that our hearts were on hold

A life of isolation
And I saw it coming to be
I looked for the world but I just found me
It felt like I was trying
And I thought I was doing okay
I'm the eclipse in the middle of my day

For there's a mouth that waits here under my wing, oh
Not knowing how to speak, but it knows how to sing

I feel done with everything, oh
I've got so much but it's too heavy to breathe, oh
And in the end I'll hang here from my own strings
I feel done with everything
I feel done with everything, oh
I feel done with everything
I feel done with everything
I feel done with everything, oh

A life of isolation
And I saw it coming for me
It felt like I was trying
And I thought I was doing okay
I'm the eclipse in the middle of my day
