I'm at the point where I've given up
Working towards a quiet life was never quite enough
And how I tried to redefined my rigid life
These edges just won't smooth down
Sandpaper's getting tired
Can't help but wonder just what could have been
With some guy I met at summer camp
Wait, what my age again?
I'm not for regret or disloyal thought
But I've been meaning to remember what it feels like to want
Eyes closed she digs her toes into the sand
Far away from here I was the patron of a lost and tired land
How my hands now grip two swords
Steel always did remind me why I wake and fight and fade
Far from these old fears
I listen to the ocean breeze
She whispers, 'Wake and find your feet'
Spitting up retainer bits the years break into days
I'm waiting for my imperfect teeth to fall back into place
I had my doubt I had a few uncertainties
Still I was pleased with my misplaces integrity
Eyes closed she digs her toes into the sand
Far away from here I was the patron of a lost and lively land
How my hands now grip two swords
Steel always did remind me why I wake and fight and fade
Far from these old fears
I listen to the ocean breeze
She whispers, 'Wake and find your feet'
Spitting up retainer bits the years break into days
I'm waiting for my imperfect teeth to fall back into place
