Oh, I’m slippin’ up
I’m brewin’ a storm
Waves and thunder
Never sounded so
Still
Oh, there’s a beauty to it
There’s no end to it
Lifeblood flowing
Tapped straight from the
Still
I’m still waiting
I’m still wading
I can’t let go
My restless mind won’t stay
Still
Still
Still
Still

Oh, I went walking this morning
I’d stayed up thru the night
Couldn’t stop thinking ‘bout the meaningless things that
I couldn’t get right
Too comfortable in chaos
Too quiet to blend in
So when I find myself a-walkin’
It’s to gain distance from a sin.
Oh there’s another name for this
But it won’t come to light
Spinning my wheels on the same worn path
Still can’t bring myself to fight
I couldn’t tell you where the circle starts and ends
You’d think that I would know
But I come back from a-walking every time
With nothing more to show.

What are you doing today?
Where are you going today?
How are you feeling today?
Ooh, let me see you once I’m there.
Will you come over like you said?
Will you just call me instead?
Will you see me some other time?
Ooh, let me see you once I’m there.
Once I’m there I can’t unring your doorbell
The choice once made rings out just like a doorbell
Now that it’s done I can’t unring your doorbell
There’s no sound bites me deeper than your doorbell
I can’t stop hearing the chiming of your doorbell.

Walking alone again
Whispering thoughts to myself
Taking my time because it’s easier
“It’s never been for a lack of caring.”
“I’m coming along, I’ll be right there.”
Morbid wants, and twisted half truths
Each selfless act a façade
“Don’t want to face it so just leave me.”
Caught in a loop of coming undone
The waiting on words
Is sapping my will to go on
How can you feel worse and still feel the same way?
It’s been years but it’s still the same day
I should have
I should have
I should have
All the things I should have.
