lyrics

Catching wind of nothing learned
When you catch a breath you’ve lost before
There’s nowhere left for lungs to run
When you live among no lessons in a lifeless corridor

I was born on broken stairs
Raised to lower expectations
The easiest one to disappoint
Is the one you wish you were

With a little patience I could be better

The mind is but an empty pit
The wind turned upside down with locks on it
A fire that burns until it’s lit
And you don’t know what to cook with it

Every day I’m wrestling
With every night I’m rustling
I might sleep but never rest
Keep my dreams pinned to my chest where they belong

With a little patience I could be better
