Ears Ring

Lake Mattson

 

In the quiet I can pick up the pieces or listen to my ears ring  
 
The feeling as I walk through the door knowing you won’t follow me 
Suddenly without, I need to make myself busy 
This was going to happen eventually, I knew this was going to happen 
The feeling as I walk through the door knowing you won’t follow me 
Making myself busy, I knew this was going to happen 
 
Music stops, ears ringing  
Suddenly aware of the speed of my windshield wipers 
 
Silently waiting for someone nice to come around long enough that I forget I exist 
It won’t last forever music stops silence in its place 
 
Suddenly without, assess my feelings 
In the quiet I can pick up the pieces or listen to my ears ring
