Lyrics:
Sometimes I go whole days
listening bored, half sleep
I won't say anything
that's worth a thing to me
One day, suddenly, time
took a turn that once felt so brief
I blinked to see polite ghosts fading quickly
What begins as an unguarded
train of thoughts slowly can become
an addiction to the slumber
of disconnection and the resonance
of memory that no longer has a shape
but keeps you numb through
the hours tills gone is another day
Be aware, my darling
these things I say I mean
are just traces of something
I long to feel again
I see our time expand
in the air almost forcibly,
spreading thinner till it dissolves completely

Someone should make an extended version of this. As in, fifteen minutes of this song, so we don't have to keep restarting it.

@cdcddccf You don't explain it well, but somehow, I knew what you're talking about. I feel the same way. It's like the words are flowing with the music and not the other way around. In other words, the music leads the vocals and somehow, it's beautiful.

I like the way they use their voice as an instrument in this song. I mean usually when someone sing the voice goes up a down when we are trying to "speak" the words, but in this case its like fluently. No se como explicarlo, solo se que me gusta esta cancion. Keep doing more songs like these.
