Smother

Caught inside a dream half waking up
But it's not enough
Eyes wide shut still bleeding color when
Anything starts to feel stable
Life systematically turns the table and
Welcome back again, the uninvited guest
I guess I should've known that you'd come through
So dependable, timings commendable
Counting on you to drop the other shoe

And so the planet keeps turning
As the world stays burning
But in the meantime

I can't seem to catch my breath
Thoughts fixated on what comes next
There's a rhythmic pain in my chest
A tempo that won't let me rest

Please just let me rest

I keep listening way too long too loud too fast
To the burdens on repeat
That keep holding me back
Forces on the front line doing a dance
They keep marching in my head
To a tempo that won't let me rest
But in the meantime

I can't seem to catch my breath
Thoughts fixated on what comes next
There's a rhythmic pain in my chest
A tempo that won't let me rest
I can't seem to catch my breath
Thoughts fixated on what comes next
There's a rhythmic pain in my chest
A tempo that won't let me rest

If it's not one thing it's another
The tempos getting harder and harder and harder to follow
I'm losing all my color

I stay losing all my color

I can't seem to catch my breath
The thought fixated on what comes next
There's a rhythmic pain in my chest
A tempo, tempo won't let me rest
But in the meantime
But in the meantime
But in the meantime

And so the planet keeps turning
As the world stays on burning
