TAKING THE EDGE OFF

Gotta stay true to the ghost that's inside of you
view from the side of the road unfolds
in this new time zone, we got a challenge on our hands
like this line of police with their chain of command,
i'm restless, if border's too high to cross
i'm gonna blame every arrow till the gain fades to loss
you can see miles from the top of that tree
tell me there's rest for the wicked in the land of the free

i'm taking the edge off a bad day,
a bad place a bad dream

cross to the side of the road there's a sign
for a portal invites mere mortals to stare
every ex-lovers there, conversing in verses
a hearse and an absence of curses
care for the weather report? we glide through time
like a season repeating in cycles if bicycle
spokes could hum notes, this valley might
shake till it breaks and the island is broke

so i'm taking the edge off a bad day,
a bad place a bad dream

walk. until you get the sense in your bones
you don't know the direction of home
i'm miles on already and we should have prepared our goodbyes
now it's too late for lies

i saw in you what i only recognised from myself
if the health of the core's long gone
then it's goodbye for now, and god knows it's futile
but if there's a finish line i'll see you
if there's a finish line i'll see you
it might just be the race that we been through
but facing the facts ain't an act to undo.
