The demo for the song Reconcile off of The Absence Of Tides CD
lyrics
Chorus:
Thought I had found a way to explain
That I'm losing my faith in the sound of your voice
In the dark as you said "Well all that's gold turned to lead"
That the only direction is down
Verse:
You're thinking on a scale to fast to slide against
The painfully slow movement of time
days you chased will then turn into weeks to kill you
They turn to fight you with an arsenal of confusion
Bridge:
The signs of my Weakness threatening to wreck you
The echoes of past rings clearly to reappear
Chorus:
Thought I had found a way to explain as we're spiraling into the ground
But words are just sound and sound is not pain and the only direction is down
Something you were fending
Long before our ending
Sending subtle discontent
Blending with your need for something more
Awkward tension
your comfort just being near me
steer me that's not what you need
Plant the seeds of hesitation as you spin
Turning Burning bridges as your running gunning for my guilt
All the time we had was gone and lost forever
If not for me
