Passing Phase - Daniel Breaker

I’ll fill the void with song

'Til my cup runneth over

All night long

I’ll live in vans crammed with guitars

I’ll sleep on floors and play at bars

I’ll dance to my own metronome

'Til chaos feels like home

I’ll grow colder

I’ll grow bolder

I’ll grow older

And keep fillin' my cup

I’ll grow colder

I’ll grow bolder

I’ll grow older

But I’ll never grow up

And this is not a passing phase

(It was just a passing phase)

Oh, this is not a passing phase

(It was just a passing phase)

You see, I’ll stay young for so long

(It was just a passing phase)

'Til chaos feels like home

(It was just a passing phase)

Up and down from town to town

'Til van wheels go round and round

Up and down from town to town

'Til van wheels go round and round

Every night, play rock and roll

Get fucked up after the show

In the morning, lock and load

And then leave-

Right when it was starting to feel real.

Wish we could talk about how the means will not prepare you for the ends

How your epiphanies will become fair-weather friends

How death will make you lower your defenses

The only truth of youth is the grown-up consequences

See, song is a balm

But song cannot heal

You believed in it too long

Now I need something more than real

I need something more than real

Someday, the chords of age

Will drown out the life you’ve been dreaming of

Then you’ll be out on your ass

And cursing a lass

Your song is just passing for love

My song was just passing for love

And you will never see her again

And I will never see her again

And we will never see her again
