Distraction Lyrics

Headphones on, scrolling Facebook or something, this is how we get by

Home is where the heart lets its heart down

Exposing those parts to the open air

At minimum, a place you can trust to keep the bad out

Most days those walls feel like they were never there

Home is where the dark eats its heart out

Where diapposed needs arc up sparks when the high's down

That disconnect between intention and tension

The misaligned narratives of combat and contention

I don't what you're feeling and I don't know what you need

Maybe you're dealing with similar things to me

Let me lift you up, let me help you breathe

Carry that weight, I'll take as much as I can receive

We all need a brief moment of catharsis

Flight mode-minded thinking about your hardships

Let me lift you up, let me help you breathe

We all mess up the things we think we need

When unexpected noise turns to tears in a millisecond

This is where we innovate the concept of being present

I could scroll this feed to the bottom and then back again

Burn a couple hours catching up on every friend of friend

I could spend a whole hour nearly done in a minute

Think about that loop for a second when you're trapped in it

You could bake a cake or clear the stuff of your bed

Diving to the bottom of infinite things already read

Seek distraction from chaos and distraction, or

When the silence makes every single word taxing

Egg shells littering a glass house of fractured factions

Every action has an equal opposite reaction

These contraptions we partake to parlay

That past pain to new hearts who know the strain of heartbreak

Blurry faces reminisce on dark days

Houses that weren't home in ways that can't be explained

I don't what you're feeling and I don't know what you need

Maybe you're dealing with similar things to me

Let me lift you up, let me help you breathe

Carry that weight, I'll take as much as I can receive

We all need a brief moment of catharsis

Flight mode-minded thinking about your hardships

Let me lift you up, let me help you breathe

We all mess up the things we think we need
