[Verse 1]
Woe…
A tale as old as time, so
You’d think I’d know where to begin? (ha)
Maybe all of this…
Comes from a longing (yeah)
A yearning for what never was,
’Cause in another timeline
Maybe we were lifelines?
[Pre-Chorus]
So I sit here, mindlessly pondering,
Gazing across a parallel,
Watching this world unravel in real time.
What else is there to do?
Ugh, I find myself here again,
Held up in the same old pattern of…
dwelling on …you! (you!)
[Chorus]
As the years pass by,
I find myself on a reoccurring coaster ride.
Each seat filled via another day.
Just over here dodging life play-by-play.
& even still, I would be remiss to omit,
The thought of never knowing you!
[Verse 2]
Like a wing is made to fly,
You’re so far away
& up so high!
Certainly out of reach.
Yet these frequencies in my head,
They won’t release me!
You were born to soar,
While my heart stayed back to mourn.
[neo-psychedelic guitar solo]
[Verse 3]
Lost afloat out here in the ether,
Writing hymns that aren’t very healing...
Fuck!
Like they’d embody any sort of remedy?
Here the notion remains,
Our story reads to be a tragedy.
[Interlude]
It’s not just the love or pain,
I could even reminisce about the mere mundane.
[Verse 4 - Cheeky, Moody]
What once was,
Feels like it’ll never be.
It’s not even a mystery.
Convince me these brainwaves,
Are not intertwined.
Go on, deny the harmony!
[Bridge]
Bound in fate…
Like, ying versus yang.
Caught up in a cycle,
Fates ruled like a tide!
[Final Chorus]
(oh yeah)
As the years pass by,
I find myself on a reoccurring coaster ride.
Each seat filled via another day.
Just over here dodging life play-by-play.
& even still, I would be remiss to omit,
The thought of never knowing you!
[Outro]
Ooooh,
Either way,
Lulled in a state,
pacified by this purgatory?
Look within— feel it too.
(You know it’s you)
Buried deep,
Destine faintly echoes through
A hollow fragment.
Still & stagnant.
Here I’ll stay,
just a drop away.
