These Are The Days
These are the days These are the only days This is the only only But these are the days That feel like those other days Each moment is open. Open These are the days That I used to see in dreams These are the days I told me I would receive These are the days I used to believe I was trying to show me I could have used These days when the days were those days When the days used to pass so slowly And when they have gone I will remember These days as the days when I had a focus That I do not feel in the moment Only the moment, I know SongtexteOnly the moment The whole sky is broken, it opens upon me These are the days These are the only days So why can't I feel them hold me? Why must I sit in the wake of the days Watching them pass Like they are not golden? These are the golden moments But these are the days That I turned my back on These are the days I let go of Looking for days That used to be days Or days still to come Nothing was broken But I made it break Coz I couldn't wait For the days to be filled with emotion I couldn't rest I wanted obsession, adrenaline, mess I wanted devotion But I didn't know Why I was so pressed by distraction Why I was so desperate to let it all go Let it all grow From the moment Take it apart. Just to know it can never be broken Make it an art Walking away from the good ones When I should have listened But what's hidden Is only revealed when you're looking for patterns These are the days when I regain my balance For now, I am sat without love or compassion Defeating myself because I made it happen But no more comparisons No shade No shame No vanishing flames at the edge of the frame No practicing Only the main It's all spilling out of my veins All these mannequins Turned when I came, looked away How embarrassing Stop shouting your name in my ears I'm not panicking I am right here I am right here, I am managing These are the days That the other days spanned Don't bother me Don't understand Don't follow me into the sand Don't wallow in bed until air becomes solid You were all presence And I was all plans These are the days When I felt the days Rise in my body and I took them in hand These are the days When I feel the days Rise in my body and I take them in hand Aus Songtexte Mania
