Take A While - Pati Yang

Hold me.

Like you’ve held no one before

Talk to me as if we’ve been far apart

It’s like we mutate and it’s out our control

Everywhere we look change stare us in the eye

Oh it’s so hard to walk with it

But we’ve got to believe it

Make efforts to go with the flow

See, I am trying to resist it

When I am tempted to give up

You make me carry on

It’s gonna take me a while

To deny

That I am fine

When I feel half alive

Tears taste much sweeter with time

If I could I would cry

Rain o the dessert inside

Pressure

Holds me on my feet all night

I sleepwalk on eggshells in the day

Comfort hurts me more the more I drown

We feel numb, we talk numb

Just used to being deprived

Oh it’s so hard to walk with i

But we’ve got to believe it

Make efforts to go with the flow

See, I am trying to resist it

When I am tempted to give up

You make me carry on

It’s gonna take me a while

To stop laying.

That I am fine

When I feel half alive

Tears taste much sweeter with time

If I could I would cry

Rain on the dessert inside

I was the only child you’ve ever had

You found me

Then lost me

In your labyrinth

Of sweets and promises of childhood dreams reversed

Why none of them, signed in blood

Could have kept me safe?
