lyrics

A hundred times a day,
between breath
seconds away,
little thoughts creep in
that I can't handle,
vision starts to fade.

'Am I stuck in here forever,
am I just running in place,
living for the weekend
working for that living wage?'

Out here in the sand
fingers bleeding glass,
broken strings
covered in dead skin
from my fretting hand.

A hundred times a day,
between breath
seconds away,
and if I weren't pass too soon
who then would take my place?

Would you watch me grow so tired
and fall right off the stage?
Would you scream my name,
lend a hand in
keeping me awake?

You're keeping me awake. (x4)

Gorgeous, emotive music that's somehow both soothing and haunting all at once, wonderful to listen to on a quiet night in the dark of your room. cattnapped
