Catalyst

Up down left right inside this boiling silence
we made our rounds while listening to the passing time
I'm bracing for a long ride, a long ride, it's coming for me
steaming down the tracks, down the tracks, yeah it's coming for me

don't mean to catalyze it baby won't you make your mind up
you took the losing side cause you knew the future's coming for ya
are you ready, for this my love
are you really willing to be blinded by the sun

everyone is laughing at the both us
tragedy between the seams where the virtue runs
you give me a reason, you give me a reason to stay

eye's strained, look hard, inside and out it's too dark
head lights, track drawn, waiting for my train to come
eyes strained, old stars, down the tracks it's too dark,
i'll wait, too late to run, waiting for my train to come

restless spirit searching for a home in twilight
slow step, slow breath, his words lost under the byline
like a conversation fading between the smokers at the bar
do you fear the pain of death my love

do you hear it now, the sound of passing time
you know it now, you smile deeper now, by one more degree
hold on to what you love.
nothing can ever return, to the way it was.
