Settle For Satin

it's not so much a storm,

but just a cloud that lives inside of me

he doesn't stir so easily these days,

but when he wakes he goes the distance

in a marathon of days too long

open containers that sing songs,

"you'll never dream again,

but you can pray"

i guess we only settle in to what we know

i guess we always settle in, and we know.

that there is comfort in a world

where darkness is the only thing we see

and cold is all we have to breathe

where affectations keep us company,

where the lies we tell to the eyes that roll in doubt

are somehow out of our control.

it's not about the scars, but more the crowds that walk all over me

they don't give up too easily these days,

but when they break they go to pieces.

fall apart right here in north side bars

under a sky that knows no stars

you'll never shine again,

but you will stay.

i guess we only settle in to what we know

i guess we always settle in, and we know.

that there is comfort in a world

where darkness is the only thing we see

and cold is all we have to breathe

where affectations keep us company,

where the lies we tell to the eyes that roll in doubt

are somehow out of our control.

we lost control.
