T.I.K. - Valleyheart

Find faith in the objects

Keep them there for when I despair

And all my hopes seem like some joke

As I question the time over breakfast

To find peace in the moment

When my mind is tied to a better time

Where the future and the past reside

While I lie in my living room restless

Singing what do I have to prove, who do I have to fool?

So I keep my friends around, until I get bored with doubt

Then I start to shut them out, in solitude

Follow that burning glow, I’ll leave when the lights are low

A feeling you’ll never know, with a warm excuse

So you get caught in the iris

Of your lover’s stare, and the sight of her hair

In the grocery aisle, she stops and smiles

And it eases your existential dread

For a while

But there’s still night’s that I get in my car

And start to drive as a fantasize

Of a brand new home, throwing out my phone

But I know I’d unpack all my problems with my clothes

What do I have to prove, who do I have left to lose?

So I keep my friends around, until I get bored with doubt

Then I start to shut them out, it’s what I do

Can I keep my conscience clean?

With all of the thoughts I keep

I’d trade all my worth for sleep, and some brand new shoes
