Norphlet - The Ox Months Lyrics

Lord knows I've always
Promised you this
Promised I wouldn't
Stand where I couldn't
Stand to and shouldn't
And though I have a habit
Of teaching myself a lesson
If this is the answer
Then what was the question

Did I lose it getting so caught up
In the things that won't even matter
Did I waste it being so stuck
On the people that don't even give a shit
Did I miss it hunting high and low
For the reason and the rhyme of my doing this
In the ox months it gets so dark
That you can't see the thick in the thin of it

Failed expedition
Confirming my fears
Destined to captain a sinking ship
Born my own anchor
A crack in the hull
Taking on water til I'm
Wholly submerged
Swallowed by the earth in the
Blinding white sea

I walk away, I always do
I walk away, I always
I walk away, I always do
When I start to struggle
I walk away, I always do
I walk away, I always
I walk away, I always do
I walk away
I walk away
