Counting Backwards

Chasing after words you’ve said
Like nowhere else I’ve ever been
It’s true, I can’t be away from you
Looking back only footprints
In the wake of my most recent move
Paralleled by the way ways I’ve hurt you
Just promise me that you won’t be there too

This light is following me
I sense a violent liberation only dead men can see
Now I’m struggling to see to the silent infiltrator in the shadows I keep
There’s no walk on the beach
I’ll be collapsing in the distance with the voices unseen
My troubles stirring so deep
The last thing I’ll see now becoming clearer to me

Nailed down to the rules you’ve set There’s no where else I’ve ever been
It’s true, I can’t get away from you
In the eyes of an infant
In the hopes every mislead youth
Holding on to your last breath to realize the dreams never come true

This light is following me
I sense a violent liberation only dead men can see
Now I’m ready to see
My shadow’s disconnecting from the ground and my feet
Your love drifting out of reach
I know the answers to the questions that you think sound so deep
My troubles rain to the streets
Reflections of my life already start to repeat
