lyrics

How many times, do you sink into your skin?
When you find all the fault lines, are there dividends?

Did you catch a shooting star
Across your eye in the middle of the night?
Or did you sink on down into your pillow?

Resurgence is a cure
From the shadows you abhor
But they teach you another lesson about dressing yourself
Let the shape melt away
Like a bucket thrown in the grass
There things forming around it
As it sits
As it lasts

Oh, all is a circling
Oh all is a circling
You don't have to have the answers
You don't need any my friend
'Cause all is a circling

Fitting myself
Into jeans that are too tight
I want to change my shape
I want to look like
Someone else
But I tried that once before and it was futile
Could not bear it at my core

Oh, all is a circling
Oh, all is a circling
You don't have to have the answers
You don't need any my friend
'Cause all is a circling
