Traces - Sloan

Ask your questions later

I’m still on my hesitator

A lonely big boat calls

And my resistance falls

Until my thoughts drift down to paper

And when I get that feeling

That I can barely contain myself

To bring them down upon account of the right time

And then replace them to the upper shelf

(I put my thoughts back up on the shelf)

Seems like time’s agin us

The losses mount to the winners

Another steady dose

Of awful TV shows

Crowning brand new has beeners

And if I seem delighted

I have to get you to check my pulse

It feels low down to the ground and now my money’s gone

As I’ve been paying for some better results

Life goes on and on

Appreciate it

'Cause when you’re gone

You can’t question a trace of how you made it

When you’re down and out

Disintegrated

Just keep in mind all the time that you’ve dedicated

Summer’s moon’s on the fader

Another seasonal perpetuator

Cold calls of fall will make me drop it all

Until we touch upon it 12 months later

Sometimes when I’m buyin'

The shit you’re sellin' in your leather gloves

I get shot down way down to where the weather’s better

And thank the gods that I’m still in love

And when I get that feelin'

That any mountain’s too much to climb

I open my eyes and decide this aint the first time

I tried reliving my original prime

Life goes on and on

Appreciate it

'Cause when we’re gone

You can’t question a trace of how you made it

When you’re down and out

Disintegrated

Just keep in mind all the time that you’ve dedicated

In the fresh air country silence

I lose the urban sick, slick violence

On every field of green

There is a silver sheen

That makes me question my own compliance

And when I field that query

I know the answer that I’m gonna give

It’s not that one can beat the other in real time

It’s just the scenery of how I wanna live
