Obscure Sorrows (feat. Laura Newman) Lyrics

Shadows of promises
cast upon the wall
by all the hallows of providence.
Yet I wander aimless
in the shallows of consciousness.
I’ll be here waiting
for the gallows of time to descend.
Searching for meaning.
Waves are crashing in to me.
The surface is gleaming.
Shifting sand between my toes.
I take it all in,
and I feel the air upon my skin.
Then I fall to my knees
cuz’ I thought it might help
if I tried to imagine my life
as a beautiful thing,
but I catch my reflection,

and realized I’m just like the world
where Im hung without strings.
I’m cornered in the tide pool,
and Im certain if I take a dive
I’ll drift as the tide pulls me up
onto the shore to find
I’m right back in my cruel world
suspended in an absent mind.
If only I could find
my absent heart.
So I’m here skipping stones
while I skim across the surface.
I reschedule indulgence
as I’m chasing after purpose.
Now I’m lost in my headspace
only I was never found
in the first place.
The world falls away,
and I’m foraging in memories.
A vivid image
in a dream
in which I can’t comprehend.
Cuz’s I thought it might help
if I tried to imagine my life
as a beautiful thing,
but I catch my reflection,
and realized I’m just like the world
where I am hung without strings.
