Retrograde Lyrics by Dearest

Retrograde

2022

[Intro]
Deeper into the fold, I've lost myself again
As I start to let go, something pulls me back in

[Verse 1]
It’s funny how we change
Those promises to stay the same
Were made so carelessly
Mistakes that we should not repeat
Everything you love's in atrophy
Withering away so tragically
Is this what you want?
Tracing back your thoughts
To find out that spark is gone

[Chorus]
Deeper into the fold, I've lost myself again
As I start to let go, something pulls me back in
Staring into the sky, longing for what I lost
Time spent wondering why leads to nothing at all

[Instrumental Break 1]

[Verse 2]
Searching for ourselves, therе is a fog
That will block out everyone, thе sun, and the stars
A vision so impaired, it never clears
We’ve forgotten who we are
So far away from the water
So tell me why I'm still drowning

[Verse 3]
Somewhere in our hearts
There's a fire, light the dark
Will it last forever, or burn out?
In the summer, we depart
Wage our wars of the arts
It feels like forever, til it ends
But it will start again
Swore that I would never
Lose myself just to play the part

[Verse 4]
Remember all the reasons that brought you to this place
The shifting of the seasons could never change my ways
We carry all our burdens high up above our heads
We have become a part of all that we have ever met
If you erase the struggle and take away the pain
There would be nothing left

[Instrumental Break 2]

[Interlude]

[Chorus]
Deeper into the fold, I've found myself again
As I start to take hold, now I see what lies ahead
Staring into the sky, cherishing what I've found
Time spent dreaming has made me everything that I am
Deeper into the fold, I've found myself again
As I start to take hold, now I see what lies ahead
Staring into the sky, cherishing what I've found
Time spent dreaming has made me everything that I am

[Outro]
