Coping Lyrics

Sometimes change comes faster when it's slow

The subtleties evolve until it's too much to ignore

And suddenly I'm not sure what I know

All these mental battles turning into life-sized wars

The soldiers dig their trenches through my chest

Overnight a wrinkle makes its home upon my brow

I try to make my bed inside the past

It's like I'm gripping at the water

But the stream's not slowing down

Something's missing from it all

Living in the gilded age of thought

They say, "this emptiness is natural

So don't get your hopes up

We're all just coping"

The rosy haze has changed its place in time

It used to flood my future, now it's hanging in the past

Blushing over every inconvenient truth

The problem coming clearer

As the clouds keep rolling back

Something's missing from it all

Living in the gilded age of thought

They say, "this emptiness is natural

So don't get your hopes up

We're all just coping"

But don't you think there could be more

The search must have some purpose at its core

This emptiness will meet its match in full

So don't give your hopes up

Embrace them boldly

Don't you think there could be more

The search must have some purpose at its core

This emptiness will meet its match in full

So don't give your hopes up

Embrace them boldly

Embrace them boldly
