Even for a Day

Lyrics:

Old roots, New trees
who's who in this sea of green?

I've been thinking late that i'm lonely
i've been wishing days would quit rolling
and the fate that i'm holding
would just break, begin folding
straight away, still i'm only 23

Maybe things will brighten up
haven't been writing quite enough
but I like the light that I see
stare too long til i'm blinded
Got a right to privacy
but my brain comes unwinded
and i'm trying,

i'm trying my best
or at least trying to be the least destructive version
of the person that i'm presently unavoidably attached to

I want a brain break from my own brain waves
even when the day breaks I see,
that the strain stays with me
and the pain weighs heavy on my shoulders

i'll just wait til i'm older
i'll just wait til i'm sober
set a date, come up late, make up things
then it's over

You're killing much more than pain
when your brain starts to think that it's missing something
you're killing much more than pain
when you try to escape even for a day

You're killing much more than pain
when your brain starts to think that it's missing something
you're killing much more than pain
when trick your brain even for a day
