Layers Lyrics

So will you layer this for me

The last time I was here it wasn't where I wanted to be

And I've been fighting for the new

Sifting though hobbies being something I outgrew

from the before

It doesn't matter any more

Kicking dirt and wanting sand

It's a much nicer consistency

For where my toes to land

But I forced another hand

Until it was all I could stand

And I acted of character to get my way

Subconsciously noting all the things that you dismay

I can't stay

It wasn't you. I was made this way

Flitting, fighting

For another life

And, oh it bit twice

Became all the things that I despise

But also all the things I love

Burned down 100 bridges

Just To admire them in the flood.

And you spit the words I knew were true

There was nothing left for me and you

Accept the fate and move on

So the layers come in waves

Woven little rogue threads of memory

In all of the mundane

Unraveling little spools of frames

In seconds on display

And as time goes on it seems to be

There was so much more than you and me

So many layers of other lives

And I know those clips will get redefined

With a fresh perspective and borrowed time

It's all a collective of being alive
