STROMPOLOS - NOT AT PEACE Lyrics

Dark and slender
Brooding brilliant
That's who i thought you were
The crisp and bright and promised future
Is now a heartbreaking blur.
You've softened, surrendered beyond recognition
As the storms of survival rage on.
The untethered soul that you used to be
Is now shackled and withdrawn.
The person you were
Beautifully brave
Has weakened beneath
Your refusal to change.
Change. Change. Change.
You held me tight
And made me all yours
Night after night of desire
Leaps of faith
Great escapes
We threw ourselves
Into the fires.
The grace and the patience
I tried to display
While you let yourself go
While you lost your way
The doors to my heart
Are closing down fast
As you stand there
With nothing to say.
You are not at peace
You are not at peace
You are not at peace
You are not at peace
With yourself.
Mothers and fathers
Demons and monsters
I get it
That you're deeply mired.
I love you
But I am going to leave you
Because baby
I'm really tired.
Stone by stone we'll build
Walls around ourselves
Shutting out the light
Trapped as one
Unable to
Think or feel or speak or move
Until we reach the end.
You are not at peace
You are not at peace
You are not at peace
You are not at peace
With yourself.
And you stand there
With nothing to say.
