the accidentals - simple terms lyrics

[verse 1]
i’ve got a bloodshot eye upon the night
sunlight and fog and all the certainties of time
this ship of theseus with structural integrity
my pieces fall apart, i don’t know what will become of me

[verse 2]
digging through old journals just to find out how i feel
like i can’t remember what determines if i’m real
a veteran multitool, the stories that i left behind
each breath i’ve lost is just exhaust for the beating heart inside

[chorus]
and i don’t wanna waste my time watching my life burn up
i don’t wanna waste my time waiting for a hеro to turn up
i don’t wanna waste my time pretеnding that i’m fine
when there’s no finish line, it’s a race against the lie

[verse 3]
damp cold, the road pulls winter’s coat on sleeve by sleeve
pain carves the tracks of all the evil in my dreams
when i park at stations, all i see are stranger’s eyes on me
i wonder when my racing thoughts will ever let me sleep

[chorus]
‘cause i don’t wanna waste my time watching my life burn up
i don’t wanna waste my time waiting for a hero to turn up
i don’t wanna waste my time pretending that i’m fine
when there’s no finish line, it’s a race against the lie
[bridge]
and i admit, the couch i sit in does accommodate
the feeling grates, i hate the way it hefts my weight
and you, on the other side, your eyes like knives
you carve the complex of my mind into simple terms
as if that’s what i’m worth

[chorus]
and i don’t wanna waste my time, watching my life burn up
i don’t wanna waste my time waiting for a hero to turn up
i don’t wanna waste my time letting the dust pile up
i don’t wanna waste my time pretending that i’m fine
when there’s no finish line, it’s a race against the lie
