Your morning breath under the covers
The colours that my mama wears
The details I missed till I brushed the abyss And felt my reality tear
Drumming the wheel with my fingers
The waves of adrenaline crashed
Hitting the brakes a little too late Replaying my life in a flash
It'll come to pass and
All that you know, or you carry in toe
Will come to silence
And all that is good will be misunderstood Till it's gone
(All that you love, no it won't be enough Till it's gone)
I live in the noise of the city
Complacent until I complain
But oh who am I if I still deny
The paradise that we have made
Draining the soil of her riches
For the power that's heating our home
The greener the grass, the greater the cost To reach for more stuff I can own
