lyrics

Well we talked about the way our time was passing
It’s like we flipped a coin and lost life everlasting
And it’s a moment I do not care to repeat
That kind of sadness that just kicks you off your feet
And leaves you quietly
Well if I had another day what would I do?
I’d probably spend the hours arguing with you
I’d cut you down and I’d be crying at your feet
You’d have the kindness not to judge my self-defeat
But then you left me quietly
Quietly
Quietly
Quietly
If I allow myself to long for you to hold me
I need to hear all of the things you never told me
And there’s a comfort when the sadness keeps you near
But then I wake, and like a dream you've disappeared
You left me quietly
Quietly
Quietly
Quietly

about

Parabola West New Zealand

Mostly I write songs about our shared emotions, fears, and hiding places. Sometimes, just about rabbits. I hope you enjoy listening to the music as much as I enjoy creating it. If you find a piece of your story in here, sing it with me.
