lyrics

It's a long way to disagree, but I swear that's all I have.
These lungs are stretched from here to Kansas City,
but as pressure comes, more pressure goes
when I'm comin' around again.

I can talk myself down, and sing myself to sleep,
or keep me awake as well as anyone.
It's so easy for me.
So when I look to the sky,
I can't say that there's nothing to hide from.
But I can step into nothin'
and know who I've become.

Patterns dictate associations;
we find what we can't create.
So we move forward like pawns under fire,
sacrificed with grace.

I can talk myself down, and sing myself to sleep,
or keep me awake as well as anyone;
It's so easy for me.
So when I look to the sky,
I can't say that there's nothing to hide from.
But I can step into nothin'
and know who I've become.

I can talk myself down, and sing myself to sleep,
or keep me awake as well as anyone;
It's so easy for me.
So when I look to the sky,
I can't say that there's nothing to hide from.
But I can step into nothin'
and know who I've become.

Tryin' to barely exist
Lookin' for seconds you might've missed
Embattled years, unfounded fears
What reward is worth the risk?
Minutes change a life ingrained
I'll whisper loud enough for you to hear
and consider it progress...
