Unsettled

Verse 1
Why are they dropping off like flies, struggling to cling to anything to help break the fall
And time moved quicker in the years when we’d planned a route out
These words I order in a line not to conform to some design but in attempt to fix a base I can use
Why are they dropping off like flies is it that hard to keep going
No one needs to care but they care enough


Verse 2
Delayed, November was in play and I was being lead through the darker streets of barely London
It clicked through reflections off the pane, ten years had passed since we took home here
At the time this was all I knew the only other worlds were
Places in stories and conversations I’d heard
But to see with older eyes I can see why we left here
And if we didn’t care we’d have pelts of rust

Chorus
When I try to put these thoughts to paper seems I’m smearing all the ink
And the truth is that it would have turned so cold
In these sad and desperate moments we will gladly sit and think
Is this life is this enough I don’t know,
So we stay unsettled.



Verse 3
Now we’re talking all the time made bigger plans for better lives
We’re wording things to sound so pleasing
Fronts, we talk to raise the line, carefully depicting phrases
Quick tell them everything you know
No one needs to care but we care so much

Verse 3
This is why we’re dropping off like flies
We’re swimming seas we thought were calmer and tamer and less susceptible to drown us
