Vanishing, Panicking Lyrics by Backwards Dancer

Backwards Dancer

2017

Thoughts keep slipping
Slowly tipping out
Save my sorrow
It's no good anyhow

Make my fears move past the pines where they'll lay
One more move and I'll be gone
That's what you say

But those thoughts keep slipping
Slowly tipping out

What'll it take til it feels like we're free
Never meant much to the powers that be
So save me
Send me away from here

Thoughts don't leave me
Just stay by my side
Save my longing
For the right frame of mind
Keep my headache
Keep it tucked inside
Don't you tell me
How to live my life

Everything I ever knew
Was never real, was never true

What'll it take til it feels like we're free
Never meant much to the powers that be
So save me
Send me away from here
Every day it's the same routine
Another hour more and maybe you'll see
It's sorry
It's sorry for you and me

I'll tear out my heart just to hear it beating the dregs of the day just keep defeating this meaning that pours from some empty bottle in this mess that we keep leaning on
Whisper collapse in a sea of apathy, turn over points that have no sentiment and wake me up when I fail at dreaming I'm wide awake in the morning and letting go

Everything I ever knew
Was never real, was never true
