New Things

Oh I've been slowly breathing
To focus on something more than myself
But it only turns to heaving
Through lungs that are burning up
Red Wine
Unravels time around you
Faces Illuminated
By the ends of cigarettes

And these evergreen trees
Cast a shadow over me
So take a breath
Loosen your grip
Don't hold so tightly to the things you miss

And I've been talking to the shadows
Dancing 'round the room
I've been asking them for some help
I've been asking them what to do
As the lights begin to dim
And the fireplace smoulders with an orange smile
Crackling in the corner
I've been left here for a while

And when the colours fade away
Leaving a thousand shades of grey
Oh take a breath
Loosen your grip
Don't hold so tightly to the things you miss

And I've been sitting here for a while
Masquerading behind a broken smile
Chasing ghosts
Instilling faith in false hopes

And when time slows down
I get lost in a sea of sound
So take a breath
Loosen your grip
Don't hold so tightly to the things you miss

'Cause all in good time
New things will pass you by
Yeah all in good time
New things will pass you by
