lately i’ve been sinking stones to find out where
they’ll land
i won’t ever get to see them but it’s a game
i can understand
and how long before we find light
where we left it in the blinds?
i won’t ever get to know you
but it’s a game that i haven’t tried
and it’s a cold stare you’re giving
hanging out in the yard
and it’s a bruised wine you’ve got me
drinking outside this bar
and all i know is
all i’ve known
lately i’ve been waking up to find
i’ve been misplaced
scattered longing is a stillness
hanging over all my days
and in false light i can see myself in you
i just wanna know your secrets
i just wanna know the truth
and it’s a cold glare i’m giving
sitting out beneath the stars
and it’s a bruised sigh that’s got you
thinking i know what i want
and i am so deluded
i keep on feeling this is all my fault
again and again
and all i know is
all i’ve known
