These are the days


These are the days
These are the only days
This is the only only

But these are the days
That feel like those other days
Each moment is open. Open

These are the days
That I used to see in dreams
These are the days I told me

I would receive
These are the days I used to believe
I was trying to show me

I could have used
These days when the days were those days
When the days used to pass so slowly

And when they have gone
I will remember
These days as the days when I had a focus

That I do not feel in the moment
Only the moment, I know
Only the moment

The whole sky is broken, it opens upon me
These are the days
These are the only days

So why can't I feel them hold me?
Why must I sit in the wake of the days
Watching them pass

Like they are not golden?
These are the golden moments
But these are the days

That I turned my back on
These are the days I let go of
Looking for days

That used to be days
Or days still to come
Nothing was broken

But I made it break
Coz I couldn't wait
For the days to be filled with emotion

I couldn't rest
I wanted obsession, adrenaline, mess
I wanted devotion

But I didn't know
Why I was so pressed by distraction
Why I was so desperate to let it all go

Let it all grow
From the moment
Take it apart. Just to know it can never be broken

Make it an art
Walking away from the good ones
When I should have listened

But what's hidden
Is only revealed when you're looking for patterns
These are the days when I regain my balance

For now, I am sat without love or compassion
Defeating myself because I made it happen
But no more comparisons

No shade
No shame
No vanishing flames at the edge of the frame

No practicing
Only the main
It's all spilling out of my veins

All these mannequins
Turned when I came, looked away
How embarrassing

Stop shouting your name in my ears
I'm not panicking
I am right here

I am right here, I am managing
These are the days
That the other days spanned

Don't bother me
Don't understand
Don't follow me into the sand

Don't wallow in bed until air becomes solid
You were all presence
And I was all plans

These are the days
When I felt the days
Rise in my body and I took them in hand

These are the days
When I feel the days
Rise in my body and I take them in hand

Thank you because you correct this lyrics
