Dog Days - Caravels

Here she can be still, rest her eyes

The same way shes done a thousand times

She can lose herself to her head

And count the sheep, count to ten

She knows how restless she can be

About the creaking floors

That chime all night relentlessly

Reminding her the day is done

The knots and loops we tie at night

To free ourselves at morning light

I never want to wait again

Terminal, I’m at a loss

I never want to wait again

Not a second, not to pause

Our best attempt to guard against

Slowly creeping pass of time

Now a fleeting delusion of mine

But I tried

To slow it all to a glacial pace

To numb it all, stay comatose

To slow it all to a glacial pace

But I tried, but I tried

You’re a fool if you honestly think

You have say in what you believe

You’re set in stone

You’re skin and bones

And you’re all you’ll ever be

All you’ll ever be

As we wake up different people each day

I still can’t figure out what has changed

You said «you were wrong to look for that in me»

«you asked of me something that I could never be»

And the bitterness, it pools and drowns out my thoughts

When I’m aching for a second, just to pause

When every spark of inspiration is second best

You wrote to me «life is still beautiful nonetheless»
