Burning Frames

Running in the background

Steady like a second pulse

Since the days of cassette tapes

Every photograph, every heavy sigh Underneath the floorboards of my life

(always there, always

there)

It's the only habit I can't break

The sweetest pill I'll ever take

In my blood, in my bones

I'll never have to walk alone

First light,

wake up to the drone

Last light,

sleeping with the headphones on

Weaving through the traffic,

through the noise

Tracing every shadow with a voice

Every photograph, every heavy sigh

Underneath the floorboards of my life (always there,

always there)

It's the only habit I can't break

The sweetest pill I'll ever take

In my blood, in my bones

I'll never have to walk alone

Running in the background...

Always there
