lyrics

Colossus

You keep yourself away now
Like I used to keep myself
Hiding in your room don’t want to know the light of day
All the pressure mounts and cumulates with things to say
But no they won’t come out cause all you do is doubt your place

And no one really knows
How to approach
The apparition in your stare
But when you walk outside
By yourself at night
You see the solution in the air
But don’t go through with it
Don’t go through with it

You give yourself a hard time
I told myself the same lines
Pace the kitchen floors and close the open doors and wait
Wearing the same clothes spending too much time alone to change
Up and down the hall watch the patterns on the wall rearrange

And I want to meet you
But every time I do there’s some colossus in between
Through crowded small talk rooms
The smoke and sad perfume
I try to reach you as you leave
Maybe some other time
Maybe some other time
