I’ve been writing in the winter
Now the suns come out
I’ve been trying to capture everything from then to now
Better pack it up and move along
This may not be the last song but it’s the last one
I’m really sorry to be messing with the suspension of disbelief but I could see myself falling down a tunnel that I haven’t been in a long time
So I’m here to break the fourth wall
For myself
For my mind
I’m aware that I’m in a story
The paradox is evident
For everything that I am doing simply isn’t relevant
But it means a lot to me
Is that enough?
I dunno
See right here was supposed to be a sort of happy song
At least one that had a bit more of an anthem going on
But here we are again
With Nathan talking to himself like he aint got no friends
But that’s not entirely true is it?
Seems isolation has completely changed the way I’m living
The way I’m thinking
The way I’m dreaming
The way I’m looking inside my soul
While I know this is a good thing
Doesn’t mean it isn’t painful
But I keep on trying
To find my way
And while I know this is a good thing
Doesn’t mean it isn’t painful
I didn’t deserve you
So I lost you
Pretty obvious when you think about it
I do quite often
Ponder on the timing
Our stories so closely stitched
Far from parallel
Far from opposite
While I know this is a good thing
Doesn’t mean it isn’t painful
But I keep on trying
To find my way
And while I know this is a good thing
Doesn’t mean it isn’t painful
