But What is Grief, If Not

It's been awhile and I'm convinced
That no one can ever learn from this
We set it back to the start
And try it again like nothing's wrong
I try my best to hold on
To the lessons I learned when I was drunk
On how it felt when we could try
To just disappear on our island
But suddenly the two plates shift
Separated by salt as you fade in the distance
But I have drowned too many times
So I'll do what I can while fate decides

The devil's in the details
But I don't think he cares
So I'll do my best to cover up the spaces
Of what my mind erases
But I know that I can't change what's real
As long as I can feel it
I don't really need it
So the world comes down with me

I have a plan and I'll make it work
By building a wall between what hurts
And what I need to get away
And lie to myself about what I've made
It's happened far too many times
I can't take it again I just redefine
What is real and what I need
And how everything can fit in between

I'm underwater
And I'm on fire

The devil's in the details
But I don't think he cares
So I'll do my best to cover up the spaces
Of what my mind erases
But I know that I can't change what's real
As long as I can feel it
I don't really need it
So the world comes down with me
