Put the Days Away

Trying not to die is so taxing
You take a breath just to let it out again
Waking up is an exercise in trust
But you’re gonna find something to hold close
In the moonless night I wait for your ghost
Oh, how we put the days away
We just danced beneath the sea of snakes
We can bury our heads in our rooms and our beds
Until we see those days again
Trying to live on is so taxing
Just stacking up all those failures and accidents
We’ve thrown away on a mountain of mistakes
I’ve watched in the dark and counted them all
In the moonless night I wait for your call
Oh, how we put the days away
We just danced beneath the sea of snakes
We can bury our heads in our rooms and our beds
We can bury our ways in these songs we have sung
And we can bury our limbs underneath all these hands
Until we see those days again
