lyrics

Another hour far behind us
Another day of work
Another shower to remind us
That every day still hurts

Don’t pretend you see through the visions into your real life
We know you’re bluffing

I’m like a hornet’s nest above you
Underneath your stairs
You shimmer like a mirror lake
You see through all the stares

I won’t pretend I see through the visions into your real life
The harder I look, it just gets fuzzy

I drove every night without a direction
To try and find an excuse to stick around
But I never found one

Another hour far behind us
Another day of work
Another smile you shared so kindly
To wipe away my hurt

I won’t pretend I know what’s living, but I know what’s real life
It’s love unsheltered
I’m not afraid to ask for help now, I can see it in your eyes
That you don’t love me blindly
