Lyrics
On and on, the clock was wrong
Feeling a sense of continuity as time passes inaccurately.
You've been numb so long
Experiencing emotional numbness for an extended duration.
His words, they lapped an endless rote
His repetitive words followed a never-ending routine.
It's gonna rain, build a boat
Anticipating a challenging situation, preparing for it.
On masterstrokes of ebb and flow
Acknowledging the rhythmic patterns of rise and fall.
Down the drain the current flows
Symbolizing the waste and loss as things go down the drain.
All along the alpenglow
Throughout the bright glow in the mountains.
It seems my pain was self-imposed
Realizing that personal suffering was self-inflicted.
I'm just waiting for the storm to die out, out
Waiting for a tumultuous situation to calm down.
I'm just waiting for the storm to die out
Repeating the desire for the storm to end.
I'm just waiting for the storm to die
A recurring anticipation for the end of a difficult time.
On and on, in memory
Reflecting on the enduring nature of memories.
You'll have my company
Promising companionship in memory.
Mountain building, anodynes
Constructing emotional defenses and soothing substances.
Both in handfuls at a time
Taking comfort in small doses during challenging times.
I asked the trees why they grow
Questioning the purpose of growth, seeking meaning.
They said, "It's all we know"
Trees expressing growth as an instinctual response.
I apologize to all I see
Apologizing to others for past actions and behavior.
For everything I used to be
Expressing remorse for the person one used to be.
On and on, the clock was slow
Experiencing a slow passage of time.
Down the drain, we surely know
Reiterating the awareness of things going down the drain.
How to drink the oceans up
Suggesting the capability to consume vast challenges.
Better start with a cup
Starting the overwhelming task with a small step.
I'm just waiting for the storm to die out
Awaiting the resolution of a difficult period.
