Lyrics
Avoiding Black Holes
Yes there are quite a few things I regret
Like turning down a night of complicity for small talk
Or wagering all on a life between ledgers
All of my energy sublimated into everyone else
The gradual disillusionment of the last too many hours
Of which I have nothing to show
But a pen pressed too hard into paper
Why couldn?t I just say no?
Why go on like this
When the city is illuminated
Briefly precious
Why go on like this
When the perfect words are tattooed on your palm
When I think of the covering white lies
Avoiding Black Holes
Accepting just that little bit less
All that time eaten by hesitation
Why couldn?t I just say yes?
Why go on like this
When the city is illuminated
Briefly precious
Why go on like this
When the perfect words are tattooed on your palm
