Sundial

from Guilt and Closure by Grim Waters

/

lyrics

Gnawing at me
Not the fact that I’m flawed
But the fact that I have been for so long
As time goes on
The kinks were never worked out
No change its stagnant
An imprint in space

Cemented inside this mold season after season
Just waiting to be reborn

Every day moving through the motions just to keep a smile
Time stands still when there’s no light for the sundial
There’s no change

Dwelling on nothing
Picking apart everything
Searching for something
That doesn’t exist

It burns faster than I remember
Slow-cooked when younger, now darker than ever
Slipping away winter by winter, racking up like scoffs to a beggar
I’m trying hard to keep a smile; I’m trying so hard to keep a smile.

I’m caught in slow motion
Stuck in past thoughts
Will it always be like this?
The thought of it always being like this is terrifying
The thought of my past being my forever future is terrifying
The future is terrifying
If I could learn to not be so afraid
And not think of what could be terrifying
Then maybe just maybe I could take a breath and feel normal
But I do this to myself
The issue is myself
What’s truly terrifying is myself
Listen to me…
Myself, myself, myself
You would think I love it
You would think I’m some kind of narcissist
You would think I’m in vain, in love with the idea of me
I’m always rambling about myself
Maybe that’s what’s terrifying
Not me, but the obsession I have with who is me
I’m obsessed with dwelling on nothing
I’m obsessed with picking apart everything
I’m obsessed with the introspective feelings
That come from self judgment and loathing
Will this fear be here forever?
Will I always be terrified, petrified, afraid of myself?
