Waiting for the 1401 Lyrics

Standing outside next to the fence

It recalls having much more time

Waiting for the fourteenth

It reminds me of a time when there was light

Breaking character

Protecting and healing myself

Next to the tide

Be alright for the now

Sleep inside from the rain

To hide

Brain's not functioning

We're moving, acting like it's not crumbling

Pavements getting stepped on, pretending that it doesn't hurt

When the rain comes over them

Driveways, park benches

And rolled up cigarettes

This air we call our mask to breathe

Has just reaped an open end

We need no more ambience

For the problems to solve themselves

And for the hailstones

To know the letters we send them

When it hits (the sun)

It's like it's opened a portal of

Memories locked deep inside

For us to open up

Kept hidden away

These tears at bay

These tears have strayed

Far too long

A long song, our life tune

To sing us along and for us to use

For us to abuse

We never know what

What we do to ourselves

That makes us think of old times

When our hearts were on the shelves

And when we were picking outfits to wear

Now we just pick the same thing that helps us to not care

A solemn grace with a hope so fair

Beam into the night

Like starry bus lights

And settle down
