lyrics

kill the stage lights, pull the curtains back
you will see there are no actors
and the sound the pulley makes
and its echo are in unison with intention
all those memories you had never happened but you keep them here 'cause

something's feeding off their luster
and nothing seems to ever disappear here
while we're here

i'm a grateful contradiction, you never seemed to have reservations
all presence and jest

i never aim to be consistent, just more aware
i hope you understand i keep you with me everywhere I go

but something's feeding off this luster
and nothing seems to ever disappear here
while we're here
