Rooftop - Recollections

The time keeps ticking on
My eyes they sing a similar song
'Till someone begs their best behavior
How we all change to greet our savior
The rhythm steady strong
Our backbone moves us right along
We all become our fathers someday
I'll fight that battle on my own

So strike a match at the top of your lungs
Tell all I missed at the tip of your tongue

And dive into the ordinary
I feel like I've been home so very long
I can't keep changing masks that don't belong to me

Taught to believe in fate
The coming frost it hesitates
Two souls declare a single purpose
Running from all that made them nervous
The road a charcoal urn
One secret fields none in return
Can't leave these sentiments behind
Next time we'll find them on our own

So tell me where you found your stride
The curtains cracked but I'll be inside

And dive into the ordinary
I feel like I've been home so very long
I can't keep changing masks that don't belong to me

The end has come the crickets call
The moral here I can't recall

So dive into the ordinary
I feel like I've been home so very long
I can't keep changing masks that don't belong to me
