lyrics

It's painful and taxing
Burden of Listening
Through the white noise

It pulls your many strings
A fool that's just asking
For one more try

This station was broadcast only
I'm so sorry

To not hear your message loud
And clear, so send it back around
I'm not too old
I'm not to proud

Breathe In
Breathe Out
Within
Without

Don't you want a taste of it?
Or are you afraid to lose it all and fall?
Dust yourself off and just try again my little friend
You will see that we're all stumbling around
Searching for answers to...

A fading voice decrees
To love yourself wholly
Fleeting last chance

Day to day
It's far away
And harder to nail down

Still akin to
Fate and folly
Years of stalling
