lyrics

slow stumble
goin past the way..
walkin, wonderin
if it’s safe to stay here
and i don’t know if i can move
cuz falling still feels so new
and the guilt stays so long..
but if it wasn’t for the guilt
would you still linger?
would you still be around?
or would you just have moved on?
or would you just have walked away?
okay, i think we lost him..
i think we lost him.
wandering around the same place you still hate,
making the same face every single day.
failure is the name that you once wore
but it doesn’t fit you anymore
and it never really looked that good
never really looked that good.
failure is the name that you once wore
but it doesn’t fit you anymore
and it never really looked that good
never really looked that good..
did you know, that’s the way i walked her home?
when the wind harassed and blew past the trees
and all those leaves that i once knew
and the sun that i was under
in a summer, in a school..
that was the way.
far back amongst those trees
that listened when you had the silence of the mystery within..
that’s just the way it goes..
i wonder if you would ever walk past the guilt
and past the suffering to see the final result?
but if it wasn’t for the guilt, if it wasn’t for the reason why..
would you still be standing where you are?
out there, wandering still..
failure was the name you used to wear,
but it doesn’t fit you no more..
it never really looked that good..
never really looked that good..

During the final days of writing my thesis I listened to this album on repeat for hours at a time. It was like being suspended in one eternal moment while all that changed around me were the ripples and eddies of a slowly meandering river. catharina_bee
