These Things

(album: To The Passage Of Time - 2021)

Well I've had loaded conversations where I could use some hesitation
Slow down my damnation before the fall
My words have caused more hurting than any thought of my is worth
And I'll be damned if I'll say anything at all

And I push it to the back of my mind
Still it shows up from time to time
And I don't really know what that means
I don't like to think about these things

Well I've had run-ins with the devil and I've seen glimpses into hell
Enough to know to keep myself behind the line
Still there's things I think about that I know damn well I should do without
Things that ain't no good for this peace of mind

And I push them to the back of my mind
Still they show up from time to time
And I don't really know what that means
I don't like to think about these things
No I don't like to think about these things

Well every day's a new temptation but I've gotten better at hesitating
Long enough to stay away from misery
And some days I get close but I thank God that most of the time
Catch myself before it catches me

And I push it to the back of my mind
Still it shows up from time to time
And I don't really know what that means
I don't like to think about these things
No I don't really know what that means
And I don't like to think about these things
