about

Our second single off our upcoming album.

lyrics

now every greeting
feels like a planned out
goodbye.

every five minutes,
i wait in denial
hoping you might let me
hold on to this smile.

but, silence comes quickly,
much like the rain;
our hurt was too heavy,
clouds can’t hold pain.

run, fleet footed alpha;
dash far from here.
there’s no fog in this forest,
your smoke signals are clear.

but, light travels faster
than sound and than you;
so, i’ll keep hoping blindly,
what i hear isn’t true.

that your grin isn't vacant,
and your touch doesn't lie.
that each one of your greetings
is not a planned out goodbye.

now every greeting
feels like a planned out
goodbye.

every five minutes,
i wait in denial
hoping you might let me
hold on to this smile.

but every last effort
is grasping at sand
clinging to whispers
that slip through my hands

still, they're outstretched
til the skin becomes taut,
awaiting the notion
that i'm in your thoughts.

but, thinking in practice
is action on mute,
and silence is crushing
when it speaks the truth.

so, pass through the ether
vanish from here,
you're a ghost locked in transit.
you should just disappear.

now every greeting
feels like a planned out
goodbye.

every five minutes,
i wait in denial
hoping you might let me
hold on to this smile.

I needed you then

You took me for granted

You won't find me waiting

I'm too disenchanted

Hold on to this smile

Swallow my lie

This time it's me

Who planned their goodbye
