about

Have you ever lied to yourself about how well something was going?
This song is about that.

lyrics

All I wanted was to feel fine
Get my thoughts into a straight line
But broken silence is too much for me
And in this haze I find I cannot see
Into the deep end I must go
Does this road end? I don’t know

Close my eyes, plug my ears again
It’s some surprise how the years have been
I don’t know why we don’t let it end
When you and I know that it’s just pretend
When you and I know that it’s just pretend

Always ready for a long descant
It’s like I’m rearing for unwritten plans
But time just hides himself away from me
Envelopes me in unending dreams
A single light on in the dark
Find a way to make a spark

Boil us down and we are just the same
Nothing to lose and everything to gain
On solid ground we can remain
For we can choose the ending of this game
For we are nothing but a long refrain
We are nothing but a long refrain
