lyrics

You move quiet, so quietly
Hayley you're so silent (oh silence...)
Please bury your head down

As the ebb and the flow strips the beige off your bones
All your half glass laments
Semi circle of friends left you alone

I compensate with caring nods
Some tried advice and afterthoughts
The drain clogged day just drifted off and off and on

You're more than the sum of your precious parts
Hayley, you've got more than those shaking arms
Walk it off if you can. No, don't run away

Your mothers eyes, your fathers stubborn brow
They're with you every ache and every hour

The wind chime wanders back and forth
Air makes music on it's own
The seeds we buy but never sew
Dulcet joys and moonlit tones

Familiar pains that saw then slow
To baby steps on your freezing flaw
The dreams that die but don't let go
There's Hayley, she's just holding on
