lyrics

got this string that i'm pulling on now
(i'm pulling it now)
a seam seen splitting in the background
(I'm pulling it now)
so i'm letting it tear
like it was never there
here's me like i was never there
not unlike the air

ears still ring but i'm settling down
(i'm settling down)
a pace less pressing, but i'm pacing now
(i'm settling down)
say what you will of comfort
say what you will of peace
sometimes a bittersweet pill
and i'm swallowing still

consolidating threads wound over time and distance
an impulse trained to not meet change with such resistance
and if i lost a couple prime years caught up in my own shit
well i hope there was mutual benefit

here's checking bags for change while checking flight information
here's a checking phones for range between pristene destinations
here's coming home tired, searching for ways to explain
it was the trip of my life and the trip was more of the same
