Song by Michael Chinworth

lyrics

Why is it ordinary to
take what I cannot replace?
Why do I buy my own lies
When other's are so hard to take?
Why is a line drawn in hard times
the one I can never erase?
What is so ordinary about love at a dangerous pace?

Glad I'm alive though I feel fine
I'm burning the sage like a Saint
Glad to survive all the down time
I watch my phone die with a faint
Smile I lie now my hands bind
Blood is all over my face
Gotta go find some commentary
To go with this joke of a place

Why even try its only ever a beautiful lie?
(I look and I find no embrace)
Can I get by on my bright shades of past lives?
(Nothing here looks quite the same)
Its always night in my mind let's unwind
(We ache and we ache and we ache)
Gotta go find another escape this time
(Why is this tear on my face?)

I drove my car to the very edge
Now I'm plummeting
Wheels spinning in the air
I saw the same six faces smiling at me as I flew by
It took a while to get so clear
All this wandering
Wind blowing through my hair
I rolled my life in a cigarette
I light it up as I fly
tumbling down to the rocks below

Why is it ordinary to love without showing your face?
