Lyrics
In light of my absence
In the context of my absence
Don't cancel your plans
Don't change your plans
All hands to the front yard
All attention to the front yard
All heads in the sand
Everyone avoiding reality
Somedays I feel like I'm drowning
Some days, I feel overwhelmed in various ways
In different ways
Experiencing emotional struggles
Walking out of the water
Emerging from a challenging situation
And into the rain
Transitioning from one difficulty to another
And I'm feeling older
Noticing the effects of aging
But I look the same
External appearance remains the same
The face of a young kid
Having the face of a young person
I thought I could change
Initial belief in the ability to change
Somedays I feel like I'm sinking
Some days, feeling overwhelmed and sinking
It's hard on my brain
Mental strain and difficulty
Walking out of the ocean
Emerging from a deep emotional state
And into the waves
Entering into a challenging situation
And in light of my absence
In the context of my absence
I'm running in sand from the sadness
Running away from sadness on sandy ground
And I'm always alone in my silence
Feeling perpetually alone in silence
Even when you're around
Loneliness persists even when others are present
And in light of my absence
In the context of my absence
The morning arrives with a vengeance
Morning comes forcefully with intense emotions
And you're only as good as your last win
Self-worth tied to recent successes
So I'll sit this one out
Choosing to sit out of a particular experience
Pain is the same kind of creature
Pain is a universal experience in various forms
In a different disguise
Disguised in different ways
Walking out of the darkness
Emerging from a period of darkness
And into the night
Transitioning into a metaphorical night or difficult time
