Something Missing - The William Blakes

The message that I got was more than

Anyone had thought that you can

Take on any single given day

I keep imagining that we have

Dealt with everything and we can

Settle down and look the other way

The mistakes we didn’t make

Became fire-breathing snakes

And all the chances that we meant to take are gone

And when the walls come falling down

The demons claim you as their own

All the what-ifs in our hearts they turn to stone

People going nowhere, and we keep on going fast

And before we know we’ve passed this way before

No one here can tell me that they got something that lasts

'Cause everything they love, they lose for sure

It only takes one missing piece

Before the house falls in the streets

And all the roofs are only broken stones

I keep imagining that we have

Dealt with everything, but I can

Feel there’s something missing in my bones

The mistakes we didn’t make

Became fire-breathing snakes

And all the chances that we meant to take are gone

When the walls come falling down

The demons claim you as their own

All the what-ifs in our hearts they turn to stone

People going nowhere, and we keep on going fast

And before we know we’ve passed this way before

No one here can tell me that they got something that lasts

'Cause everything they love, they lose for sure

I try to keep the distance

To the dread of my existence

But the harder that I try the more it wins

I keep imagining that we have

Dealt with everything, and I

Imagine how that feels when it begins

The mistakes we didn’t make

Became fire-breathing snakes

And all the chances that we meant to take are gone

And when the walls come falling down

The demons claim you as their own

All the what-ifs in our hearts they turn to stone

People going nowhere, and we keep on going fast

Before we know we’ve passed this way before

No one here can tell me that they got something that lasts

'Cause everything they love, they lose for sure
