Same Things from Negative Space by Swain

I’ve been howling mean on this stage since 15.
I was sick of the world and got lost in my dreams.
It’s so damn easy to wait, to feel mad, to just hate.
Open your eyes: you’re pulling dead weight.

It’s a mess, all we do is obsess
with the negative space in our heads.
Our hearts won’t get filled, a smile gives us chills.
And the happiness: it kills.

We’ll find the time to circumvent.
We’ll absorb all the sympathy.
We’ll dig deeper in the dirt
to find what’s left of the hurt,
when we’re all just waiting for
what we claim is the perfect
opportunity
to shine.

Are you tired of the sting?
Are you waiting for a spring?
Are you wishful, are you bored?
Will you savour, will you mourn?
