Delilah by Jeff Pianki

I hadn’t thought of survival
Then I woke up in a spiral
Counting the cost of denial
Thinking I’m lost in the wild
Time isn’t working the same way
I think we’re riding a wavelength
Choking a thought for a namesake
All that I want is a brain break
I look at you like a champion
But right now I feel like an isle
In some other life you were Samson
I guess that makes me Delilah

Been looking around for revival
Thinking that I’ll give it a title
One at a time I can handle
What if I can’t hold a candle
And I burn the bridge to survival
Where do we go from an island
I let you live in denial
I guess that makes me Delilah

I always wanted an answer
I was never ready to find one
I think we’re riding a wavelength
You and I had to fall down some
Cause what if we stayed in the same place
And I kept a job just to save face
I couldn’t be your messiah
I guess that makes me Delilah

Carry it into the wild
Keep it somewhere I can’t find it
I’m gonna trust in the line
I don’t wanna be your Delilah
Don’t wanna be your Delilah
