Different Days - Echolyn

Well, I’m in hiding, but not too far

Where time gets bent into the bar

The same old drink, lit by waves, on different days

The familiar chords bounce off the walls

In C’s and D’s and E’s

Well I’ve been here before to spend my different ways

(Pre-Chorus)

On different days, I’m in hiding

The volume jumbles and fights for more

Like swirls of buzzing bees

I can’t hear the stories in the cracks of the day, no

Little bursts of language dissipate

The stories try to hang on

Well, there’s nothing here that hasn’t been said… I’m running dry

It’s the moves you never make inside

It’s the moves you never make in time

See the bottom rising

I’m buried in a cycle that I notice in my brain

The repeating seems unstoppable, even when I change

I forget everything I remember- in denial, I am denied

My head feels like swarming and checking off boxes for days and days and days

You move into the storm

It pulls you where you’re going

I’m looking up through the layers

There’s a tumbling sky that’s got to land

I’m covered in its pooling measures

No matter where I run, no matter were I stand

When they run away, I stay awake (can't let go)

I stay awake on different days (can't let go)

The different days are so out from the rest

I can’t recognize the time

Don’t pull your hat down or go around

‘Cause it’s everything in everything, and then some

Now I’m back in the ballroom, dancing the buck-and-wing

I’ve been tapping solo for so long

My limbs are flying, but I’m not rising to any degree

‘Cause I’m just spinning, wasted movement and energy
