Anything Near Conviction

(album: If This Is All We're Going To Be - 2016)

Collecting
I'm all but disconnected
Convincing
I'm not too sure I've reached anything near conviction
But the headlight's out and the searing glow
Of my shame and my doubt all around
(All around me, all around me)

I don't ever wanna hear you say
That this is the best that you will ever get from me
And I don't ever wanna make you do

'Cause I love and miss you, I'm not safe and I'm scared
I know it's breaking us both the same
There's a deep divide and what's running our lives
And what we do to save face, stay sane
I stay upturned, the sun and the dust
While the black and the grey and the night wore off
Took it's place as a broken and breaking day

I don't ever wanna hear you say
That this is the best that you will ever get from me
And I don't ever wanna make you do
This isn't the best that I will ever give to you

Spend the night at a strangers place
When the lights went dark, see barren lay to waste
Staring at your pretty face

You're not living, you're dying
I'm not living

I don't ever wanna hear you say
That this is the best that you will ever get from me
And I don't ever wanna make you do
I don't ever wanna hear you say
That this is the best that you will ever get from me
And I don't ever wanna make you do

Connecting
I'm all but disconnecting
Convincing
Well I'm not too sure I've reached anything near conviction
