The Calm And The Ease

(album: Stay - 2018)

You're warm when it's cold
It takes a little hold
Of the spaces we fill
And the hopes we've made, still

We all want what we can't have
We all reach but just can't grab

We're all dogs on leads
Scratching through the leaves

We're afraid of the highs
'Cause the lows are so low
Yeah afraid to feel anything at all

We all want what we can't have
We all reach but just can't grab

We got every cliche etched in our skin
It looked kind of good right then
It looks kind of cheap right now

We all want what we can't have
We all reach but just can't grab

We're all dogs on leads
Scratching through the leaves
For that everlasting, always missing piece

I miss the calm and the ease
The stillness and wonder
While the nightmares don't cease
I miss the calm and the ease
The stillness and wonder
While the nightmares don't cease

I miss the calm and the ease
The stillness and wonder
While the nightmares don't cease
My heart is a lead weight
A fist in my chest
Squeezes and tightens with each

Terrifying breath
If calm is collected then I'm drowning in fears
Piling them sky high
My own towering years

We're all dogs on leads
Scratching through the leaves
We're all dogs on leads
Scratching through the leaves

I miss the calm and the ease
(I miss the calm and the ease)
I miss the calm and the ease
(I miss the calm and the ease)
I miss the calm and the ease
(I miss the calm and the ease)
I miss the calm and the ease
(I miss the calm and the ease)
I miss the calm and the ease
(I miss the calm and the ease)
I miss the calm and the ease
(I miss the calm and the ease)
I miss the calm and the ease
(I miss the calm and the ease)
I miss the calm and the ease
(I miss the calm and the ease)
