Waiting for the 1401

[Verse 1]
Standing outside next to the fence
It recalls having much more time
Waiting for the fourteenth
It reminds me of a time when there was light
Breaking character
Protecting and healing myself
Next to the tide
Be alright for the now
Sleep inside from the rain
To hide
Brain's not functioning
We're moving, acting like it's not crumbling
Pavements getting stepped on, pretending that it doesn't hurt
When the rain comes over them
Driveways, park benches
And rolled up cigarettes
This air we call our mask to breathe
Has just reaped an open end
We need no more ambience
For the problems to solve themselves
And for the hailstones
To know the letters we send them

[Verse 2]
When it hits (the sun)
It's like it's opened a portal of
Memories locked deep inside
For us to open up
Kept hidden away
These tears at bay
These tears have strayed
Far too long
A long song, our life tune
To sing us along and for us to use
For us to abuse
We never know what
What we do to ourselves
That makes us think of old times
When our hearts were on the shelves
And when we were picking outfits to wear
Now we just pick the same thing that helps us to not care
A solemn grace with a hope so fair
Beam into the night
Like starry bus lights
And settle down
