lyrics

Which one is harder to hold
A stone or a feather
We could be lighter than air
But let's see what shatters

Worlds that we represent
Full of gold & abstraction
Light shines on what we project
And love's a reflection

Am I better off alone
No illusion of control
Hope costs too much to pretend
So confused
How do you want this to end

A song on repeat all night
Broken laws of attraction
Just cause we want something
It doesn't mean it should happen

Am I better off alone
No illusion of control
Hope costs too much to pretend
So confused
How do you want this to end

Fourteen stations since I've knelt before temptation
Are we just iterations of partners or possessions
A dozen seasons since I've made my last confession
Desire blurs our vision but I don't even question

Am I better off alone
No illusion of control
Hope costs too much to pretend
So confused
How do you want this to end
