lyrics

tie my memories to wrist
help me to notice significance
death and beauty can coexist x2

looking down on cursive shorelines
mile high mountain tops
im taking in all i can
im writing down all by hand
like a still life painting infinite
in a finite world its iminnent
that all thing perish and our minds forget
so i won't settle for simplistic

in the same way i won't try to please you
i wont ever try to hide x2

every moment is formative
and eveyr thought has consequence
what solitude has taugh tme not forget
what people have taught me not to forget

get a strange pit in my stomach
wondering if normal things are worth it
wondering what will surface
and wondering if i'll deserve it
cause i've learned more from my regrets
than i could let myself forget x2

chorus

sporadically throughout the day
things come back to me and make me feel okay
