Jade Relics - Start Over

Long night
The city sleeps beside me
It's almost peaceful, save for freaks
And last-call retreats to quell the beast
What'll it be
Soft lights
Dizzy down the side street
Sensory feast
Translated electrical speech
Cacophony of man versus machine
Do you remember when
Something made you feel this good
Artificial and conditional
Designer medicinals
Discipline implodes
Glossed eyes
I stumble through your neighborhood
Disciple or despicable
Habits inhibit the ritual
I missed you though
So what's the point of living open hearted
What's the point of sharing what you've got when
Something's lost in you and you can't find it
You can run but you can't hide this
And what's it mean to lead a life you're hating
What's it mean to want to change your framing
And it is worth it all to just start over
Just start over
Just start over
Closing shift, her phone was lit
Couldn't focus, the notifications raging
She anxious pacing
Took a break after the final wave of patrons
Her response, she workshopped with a coworker
Best way to say that things can go no further
Tough sell
She'd been through enough hell
Mislabeled it a rough spell
And told herself countless times
The bullshit just how love smell
She out back smoking
Staring at three dots in a bubble
That keep popping up then vanishing
Psychologically damaging
When she goes back in the manager's like
That was supposed to be a smoke break not a second lunch
Put your phone away and get this mess cleaned up
She feeling disrespected thinking
Fuck this job, fuck this place
She gets home, stuffs her bags
And walks to where some busses wait
Now she on a greyhound, with a few hours to simmer
In that same text thread where it ends with delivered
Trying to walk it back like
Sorry, work drama just had me in a shitty mood
I'm on the bus and I'll be in the city soon
Can I see you
So what's the point of living open hearted
What's the point of sharing what you've got when
Something's lost in you and you can't find it
You can run but you can't hide this
And what's it mean to lead a life you're hating
What's it mean to want to change your framing
And it is worth it all to just start over
Just start over
Just start over
And as I look at where I've come
Disoriented 'cause
The story ended as it began
A palindrome, an orbit rendered
No more pretending
I know there's work still to be done
Miles away from where my mind is safe
Can't find my place, no bookmark
Look hard as what bind these pages
If I give my peace, where does it land
Fly free my stoic pride
Prone to nose-diving
Just this once, don't deny me
I hope to hold it finally
A grateful something in my hand
In my hand
In my hand
In my hand
So what's the point of living open hearted
What's the point of sharing what you've got when
Something's lost in you and you can't find it
You can run but you can't hide this
And what's it mean to lead a life you're hating
What's it mean to want to change your framing
And it is worth it all to just start over
Just start over
Just start over
