Away by Paper Void Lyrics
I’m shook, running away from the brook
Pushing it foot after foot
Keeping it sush no rustling the leaves in the bushes
Don’t want to attract any looks
Feeling like time is a crook
'cause it’s always like this once the night hits
Watch them daintily cast their shadows on the light I build my life with
Got me thinking in circles, caught in my head
Reaching for slumber just stuck in the bed
Eyes droopy today I'm scratching my lids
I’ve let it marinate for far too long
Turn back to the water push me afloat
Puffing my chest - then I hear it croak
Echoing louder as I encroach
Feeling the fear coating my throat
I see you across the lake
I’m steeping low eyes are wading
Sleep at times but always waiting
All your time it’s all I’m craving
But for now I’ll give you space
Barely buoyant on this placid lake
Get the masking tape, this sail is broken
Holes on this boat have the drainage pouring
It’s been weeks on this lake and we’re deep in this wake it started
They told me to take it slowly
Choose your adventure but take on the safest story
But the days are showing that the rain is roaring
Can’t escape the stormy nights hold tight to faith and glory
They said that too and I wish it were just that simple
My mind’s too wrinkled to tame my mood
We’re tied by a rope on the mast
Drooped in the water straight through the sand
Strapped to the neck of my Demons that splash
Time to time just to feed off my plans
I’m with you in the shadows
Even after dark
No sleeping through the battle
You telling me I gotta settle with ya
Feeling like I gotta go and pick up
The pieces you're giving away
You’re no longer what you used to be
But good as far as you can see yeah...
I’m here you’re alright, you're alright, you're alright
"Look at the sky"
I told myself "don’t look the beast in the eye
Just follow the belt 'till the dawn cracks, baby you should be fine"
As we’re floatin’ toward the opposite way, choosing to ignore my advice
I’m feeling the wake approaching
Growing the waves in motion
Center my locus as my focus
While my throat gets frozen
Still little fish inside water
Feel like this lake’s an ocean
You caught me drowning though I know I’ll turn around
I’ll match my ego with this darkness that I found
I’m peeling off tape, I’ll sew the sail up
Let go of dead weight and trust in my ways
Binding my shoulders, brace for these waves
Watching the ripples stray from the shade
Mouth rimmed with teeth eyes swimming slow
My shadow’s gripping won’t let me go
I feel it flexing and grab my throat
While I stretch the rope up against the boat
Feel like I’m up in a vortex
My body in folded contortions
How did it get goddamn out of orbit
I thought you were dormant
In the midst of these motherless omens
Is this life or am I just broken
Feeling possessed with no control
And now my throat is croaking
Stay away from the wake
The ripples and waves
Pushing it foot after foot
Keeping it sush no rustling the leaves in the bushes
Don’t want to attract any looks
Feeling like time is a crook
'cause it’s always like this once the night hits
Watch them daintily cast their shadows on the light I build my life with
Got me thinking in circles, caught in my head
Reaching for slumber just stuck in the bed
Eyes droopy today I'm scratching my lids
I’ve let it marinate for far too long
Turn back to the water push me afloat
Puffing my chest - then I hear it croak
