lyrics

It's starting up again
I feel it in the air
It's coming down my street tonight
And whether blood will flow I will stand as one who tries

You're looking kind of pale
There's shadows everywhere
You've lost the reflection in your eyes
And science makes no sense of the seeds you try to grow

It's the strange comfort I know in my world
In the way that we laugh when it all goes wrong
For a moment I'm still
All the colours bleeding into one

So what about belief
In people that you meet
Time will spent can bring relief
But I can't let it go there's an aching in my heart

The webs we spin of lies
A fully cloaked disguise
Of what you hoped you could achieve
Beside the garden path under rocks and stones I hide

But there's a strange comfort I know in my world
In the way that we laugh when it all goes wrong
For a moment I'm still
All the colours bleeding into one

Come as what you are
Moving from afar
And hear the drum beat from within
And ride the wave of change nevermind the rain will go

Don't be afraid to touch
Ornaments of love
They're gone in a flash under the wheel
So gather your strength from love and the feelings that are real

It's the strange comfort I know in my world
In the way that we laugh when it all goes wrong
For a moment I'm still
All the colours bleeding into one

There's a strange comfort I know in my world
In the way that we laugh when it all comes up
For a moment I'm still
All the colours bleeding into one

Remind Me Tomorrow
by Sharon Van Etten

Well, I was introduced to the song Comeback Kid acoustically on a Tiny Desk concert and it really caught my attention. From there I went to the album version and also liked one or two others. David William
