lyrics

In case this doesn’t make it to you
I’ll broadcast it through satellites.
I know you’re always in tune.
A conduit for regret.

Just when you thought you had the upper hand it pulls away,
Struck down and out of my control.

Words spoke so much that they lose meaning,
Sometimes I talk out loud to nothing.
Turn myself away
From doorways and daydreaming.

Fools luck runs out just in time to face yourself,
If I act weird, it’s cuz I know that now.
There is still time left to abandon what you were,
And try to focus on beginning again.

See you on the other side
