lyrics

Sitting alone at the water’s edge
Trying to remember everything you’ve seen
You look to the future but can't get beyond today
Nothing’s what you thought it would be

The induced anxiety of tomorrow
Rings in a hollow stomach
Seconds smash seconds
Falling over each other
Still in the trees and undercover

Some of us look into the darkness
Others stare straight into the sun
Some of us are lost in the madness
Others don’t know which way to run
Turn around and face the inevitable
Take a walk along an edge so steep
Nothing wrong with complete abandon
Just don't fall in too deep

An insatiable thirst for tomorrow
The infinite calm is as far as it’s near
Out of perspective and nearly out of time
So much has passed me by unaware

The induced anxiety of tomorrow
Rings in a hollow stomach
Seconds smash seconds
Falling over each other
Still in the trees and undercover

Some of us look into the darkness
Others stare straight into the sun
Some of us are lost in the madness
Others don’t know which way to run
Turn around and face the inevitable
Take a walk along an edge so steep
Nothing wrong with complete abandon
Just don't fall in too deep

And now you’re sitting back at the water’s edge
Trying to remember everything you’ve seen
You look to the future but can't get beyond today
Nothing’s what you thought it would be

The induced anxiety of tomorrow
Rings in a hollow stomach
Seconds smash seconds
Falling over each other
Still in the trees and undercover

Some of us look into the darkness
Others stare straight into the sun
Some of us are lost in the madness
Others don’t know which way to run
Turn around and face the inevitable
Take a walk along an edge so steep
Nothing wrong with complete abandon
Just don't fall apart too deep
