lyrics

I need a reason
for the bad shape that I’m in
all of the music
it fades away in the din
what is beauty
with nothing left to lose?
a growing silence
another place to begin

sometimes there’s nothing left to say
in this fog of bad luck
I’ll take this battered heart
I’m going back to the start

It was a party
that turned into another riot
I’d start a podcast
but I just want to be quiet
take my smartphone
take it all away
I need some peace of mind
but I don’t think I can buy it

sometimes there’s nothing left to say
in this fog of bad luck
I’ll take this battered heart
I’m going back to the start

a silly anger
brought me down on my knees
in a forest
I couldn’t see for the trees
seeds of sorrow
are blowing in the wind
still the songs come
I lay them down with ease

sometimes there’s nothing left to say
in this fog of bad luck
I’ll take this battered heart
I’m going back to the start

what is beauty
with nothing left to lose?
