about

This is a song about how you get so used to there being an issue at hand that to not have one feels almost unnatural and keeps you up at night (this song is supposed to sound quieter than the others because it's about not being able to sleep so I wanted it to sound quite hushed; like a lullaby almost)

lyrics

The problem is that there isn't one
days are getting brighter
weight is getting lighter
In logic's eyes I should've won
I've got a feeling this isn't done

I keep thinking but I don't reach
the same distress that stole my breath before
I guess it's what they call happy
that or disbelief

I wait for the strike
I just can't find
I think I'm finally alright
I think that's why I can't seem to sleep at night

My dreams create scenarios
when I close my eyes
just to keep it alive
Making issues where they just won't grow
as if it's not a waste of time

But what if I never did
get used to it at all
I got used to uncomfortable, unfixable and small

I wait for the strike
I just can't find
I think I'm finally alright
I think that's why I can't seem to sleep at night

The problem is that there isn't one
so my brain it tries to make some
