lyrics

It all comes to nothing
The second chances, were seconds wasted
A second time for something
But to nothing we return
Well I guess I was searching
I was lonely, lost and in need of warmth
You just, scooped me up and I settled
And we wished away the storm
And that old wind, she's catching up again
Yeah, the wind blows

It all was for nothing
The seconds I took, were second hand
So at the second time of asking
I withdrew a minute from a time machine
With my keen nose and cast eyes
Your song made my lip quiver
And I can't seem to stomach the things I find familiar

And that same old feeling's catching up again
I can feel it in my bones

You, said there'd be shelter
Somehow I'd be safer
You said it would all work out
But I don't, hear the symphonies coming out now

You said I'd be stronger
Somehow I'd be wiser
But I've still got my feelers on
And I don't feel the symphonies coming on.

And I feel like the young pretender
As I watch you, dance through
The shapes in kaleidoscope weather

Better now to know, better now to know
Better now to know if it all was, for nothing

This type of storm
Throws caution to the wind
It rains on my parade
It's a dagger in my heart

You, said there'd be shelter
Somehow I'd be safer
You said it would all work out
But I don't, hear the symphonies coming out now

You said I'd be stronger
Somehow I'd be wiser
But I've still got my feelers on
And I don't feel the symphonies coming on.

Writing in the shadow of an unprecedented year of torment for far too many, Cede re-evaluate the common tropes of love, loss and need for attention. ... more
