Cadence

Everything is gone, my senses teething
Everything went wrong, my choices leaving
I am not your own
No cause of laughter
No right to leave her
No feeling lesser

Dropping in alone, no hand in sight
No following the throw, but I feel obliged to
Give it all a go
No need to tear now
Shaking loose all your doubt
Are we being friends now?
Are we being friends now?
Are we being friends?
Are we being friends?
Are we being friends now?

I hear cadence in your tone, but I'm feeling measured
Likeliness of home, a place you treasure
Justify with ease, no short of effort
I see you more than ever
I see you clear and clever

The night is not to see, no sleeping sickness
Finding is for free, I'll be your pillow witness
Shame is hard to beat
When you're bouncing up late
With old words, you misstate
And now I'm wide awake

Shorter by the day, my temper blazing
Finding words to say, but I'm feeling lazy
Balancing defeat, but a lesson in less
Will bare right to impress
Are we growing aimless

You cower from the day
Do you remember living
You know that I'm okay
Though you're not forgiven
Take a knee and ease
You're learning patience
I know you're feeling faded
I can hear your cadence
