lyrics

I don't believe that you are the right place and time
I am aware that I've had one foot out the door since I arrived

am I wrong?
am I distracting myself again with my hands in clay thinking 'if I could just leave today?'
but when I know, I know, I know

I feel most free when everything is toppled when I'm somewhere in between
doubt is a snake that's slowly swallowing me
wherever you go there you are means I'll never outrun myself no matter how far
the faintest glow feels like the sun when you've locked yourself in the dark

am I wrong?
am I distracting myself again?
I don't need today when yesterday already knows my name

I never expected to need relief from the sun
but to be where the trees lean over the street
has dug in my mind like a vole and it eats all the roots I've tried to grow under my feet
all of my friends do they think I think them a bore when I leave and throw it on the ground right in front of me?
