lyrics

I cried when our river ran dry and you said “let’s just pretend”  
The same script just falls from my lips every time I start over again
 And I know this sadness is all elemental 
but if it’s something mental, how do I get it out of my head?
And I hear that old familiar rattle
a pill for every battle
to fight for me instead

 Disdain in the pretense
 It feels almost like resistance

CHORUS  
There’s a ghost in the mirror, tracking me on radar
 It’s only getting clearer that I can’t fight this rationally  
It’s crawling under my skin, got me feeling like a has been
Seems already predetermined that the monster inside is me

Scared to drown through the cracks in the ground
that suggest this will never end
 Love comes near and I feel all my fears arise again and again
All these doubts are so relentless,
they’re leaving me defenseless
to a fight that can’t be won
But if grace is just as strong an alliance,
then maybe my defiance has already begun

I’m always feeling so small
 I gave you some, but you want it all

CHORUS 

This fight doesn’t seem like it will be won
But my resistance has just begun
