Anodes - Allein Lyrics

As my eyes adjust the walls begin to expand and contract when I take a breathe
The yellow at the edge is getting crushed so slowly it's just turning orange
And for a year that's flying by today is dragging
Slow enough that I can't find any comfort in this pace
Even the clouds are at a stand still
It seems like the windows have been shaking all day and periodically
I hear the whistling of a song but it always stops when I try to listen
The ticking of the clock taunting every second we spend only existing and not living
For a year that's flying by today is dragging slow enough
That I can't find any comfort in this pace
For a year that's flying by today has dragged since it began but some how
It's still getting away from me
An equal spacing of lines holds vertical grains in between
Where crushed lead shows the proof of just how bad it could be
These three hands will always each have their own different
And constantly consistent speeds never changing for anyone or anything
The clouds start to move as they make visions of the static complete
And they are starting to leave behind a coat on everything
With no sense of belonging I just sit here looking down at the birds perched on the power lines
The current that is traveling through these lines is providing them
With the warmth they need to survive
The wind is picking up with every second that passes
And I can't believe that they haven't left yet
It just keeps pushing them with no mercy until the point that they are forced to fly away
It makes me think about the friends I've lost to this heartless world
I try to stay positive but it's so hard when I feel like they were cheated
It didn't take long until this block was buried under the snow
Once the sun has set it's just another night
That I'll spend alone and my mind is refusing to sit still
Street lights hit the shades and shine through making the walls glow
Keeping me awake at night
Keeping me from getting comfortable
And I haven't been to sleep in days
One day at a time has become the only thing that I know
I've embraced the cold for so long
That it's just been numbing me from you and I haven't felt anything real in so long
