Indistinguishable endings
separate beginnings
connected as they flow
In the images that fly past
through the window in the time that
seems to go so slow
When everything is relative and nothing's solid ground
and looking back's the only way to tell what's up or down
Confusion is second nature, inconsistency is first
Changing too many variables at once is sure to make things worse
Rearranging all the pieces
finding lost hope in the creases
buried by careless folds
Reaping moments from a timeline
to point to just to feel fine
when life spins out of control
Never knowing when or where the next dip will come from
Time puts on a blindfold and encourages you to run
No matter how often you stumble it just keeps tickin' on
Whether you're on your feet or on your knees, it still drags you along
And it just don't matter, it just don't matter, it just don't matter now
It just don't matter, it just don't matter, it just don't matter how
you pull yourself up, dust your boots off, get your shit together and go
It's just another move you have to make
This struggle is your own
Now each memory's another
difference in what you've discovered
between the present and the past
Now you've built another person
What they've done you weren't certain
that you could ever do
Now each breath fills a lung that breathes in deeper than before
Taking in and giving out each new life that's been formed
from molds you've made of tiny specks of dirt that seemed useless
Sometimes the things you need to most are built from what you thought was shit
