lyrics

Imprint recklessly, avoiding wrecks that I would count.
Teeter and never topple.
Ignore your head, despite the envy sprouting legs and feet,
Rooted and bound to bonsai.
Irreparably proceed with repercussion.

It’s not the first time that I ever swore about the future.
Can I escape the fears I face?
Awake until it self-fulfills.
Afraid to fall back asleep at all.

We all could use some restitution, Sweets, letting die what’s been buried,
Stowing our treasure somewhere we’ve never known in all our lifetime.
We’ll talk until our tongues untie and truly heal.
Event we reach a resolution, be determined not to drag it around.
Reversible - I’ll hold to my decision.

As long as you’ll have me, I will ever-care about our future.
Can I escape the fears I face?
Receiving wrong? Recount how long.
If you’ve got doubts, don’t seek out advice from a dumb song.

Although we’ve tried to model fiction, anything great exceeds the instants.
When we may lack the sec’ to spare and fill with creeping doubts,
Speak on them, I’d ask you. ‘Least honest, I’ll try to
Restore trust I’ve shaken. Sleep on it; I beg you.
