Eight Julys

I’ve been thankful for the lefts that bent me right
And for the memories that kept me up at night
Feeding pain’s a way to stray from keeping sight
Looking forward with pried open eyes
Loose knots we tie can fall apart
Mulling over minds and hearts
And light and dark, and think too far ahead
And before a melody can end
Another starts
Singing out our newfound parts
If letting go’s impossible at first
And getting over obstacles with hurt
Makes things worse
Eight Julys went by so quickly
I can look back with a glance
Trances of our pasts can hold us back
Chances that we have make it last
I’ve found god
She found me
I’ve been flawed and lost
But i guess i had to be
In pressured times i get inclined to get loud
All the while i’ve been kind to quiet down
Down the line, communication breaks down
But life tends to come around
I take free thoughts and read em off then stomp them packed
And stand up on it, taller, while i rise above the some i lack
And as more lights flicker on
Down all these paths
I’ve found how r to let things pass
If letting go’s impossible at first
And getting over obstacles with hurt
Makes it worse
Five Julys went by so quickly
I can look back with a glance
These trances of our pasts can hold us back
These chances must be why our lives can last
I’ve found god
She found me
I’ve been flawed and lost
But i guess i had to be
I feel these sentiments
I see if it meant
Something different
Tuning out the dissonance
You start to listen in
Harmonic, isn’t it?
My song was dissonant
And far from innocent
If letting go’s impossible at first
And getting over obstacles with hurt
Makes things worse
Three Julys went go by so quickly
I can look back with a glance
Trances of our pasts can hold us back
Chances that we have make it last
I’ve found god
She found me
I’ve been flawed and lost
But i guess i had to be
