lyrics

Stoic Companion
I’m fine as long as you’re here
Wrapped around to sort through the sky

There’s floods through the canyon
A rush to ring the New Year
But I’ve lost a feeling I should recognize

Yeah, I’ve never not wanted to try
Usually I --

Seek out circles for the repetition
Roaming forever to never be done
Flawlessness to spin an endless discipline
And when it’s over I’ve only begun

Seekin’ out circles
I could roam forever and never be done
A flawlessness to spin an endless discipline
When it’s over I’ve only begun
When it’s over I’ve only begun

Nine days of rain in a place where it doesn’t
Stirring the earth that I know
How do I explain, being lost where I shouldn't be
Stuck in a loop that I chose, so exhausted
At not being home
I’m tired of --

Seekin’ out circles for the repetition
Roaming forever to never be done
Foolishness to spin an endless discipline, cause
When it’s over you’ve only begun

Seekin’ out circles
Roaming forever to never be done
Seekin’ out circles
When it’s over you’ve only begun
When it’s over you’ve only begun
When it’s over I’ve still just begun

Stoic Companion
I’m fine as long as you’re here
Giving shape to a world passing by

Steadfast Observer, tell me do I appear
In the story, the way you do in mine?
Is your story, anything like mine?
