Phases
SoMo Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

These phases they don't let go
Too wasted to hold my own
I'm chasing my only hope
These phases they grow
These phases they don't let go
I wasted my golden rose
And laced it with poison tones
These phases they know

Oh no no
Oh whoa
Oh no no

You say you feel the tidal waves
Pullin', pullin', pullin' on your heart
What if I die today
Would I see the traces in the stars
Let the moon light the way
Start up when it's dark out to see stars, whoa

You say you wanted honesty
But honestly i think it'd hurt you more
What if i lied again
I don't think it could get any worse
Why don't we try again
Maybe it's the words that hold a curse, whoa

You say you got patience
But what are you waiting for
You said i was aimless
I know we've been here before
You said it was dangerous
Going at this alone
I should've just faked it
I was daydreaming and you know

Remember in the night
I was wide awake, wide awake, wide awake
How do I fight the pace without a brace, whoa
I could be the one to light the way, light the way, light the way
But now I hide my face why today, whoa

Oh no no no no
Oh no no
Oh no no

Maybe it's a tragedy
Maybe it's just written in the cards
What if i crash again
Would i see the phases just restart
Let the moon out again
Start up when it's dark out to see stars, whoa

You say you got patience
But what are you waiting for
You said i was aimless
I know we've been here before
You said it was dangerous
Going at this alone




I sould've just faked it
I was daydreamin' and you know
