On Repeat

from Gray by Red Ankh

/

lyrics

He wakes up an empty man in the morning
And he builds a life ev ry day
But it is often the absolute same man
That leaves him empty and fake

he wakes up a broken man in the morning
He repairs a life ev ry day
Through the same detrimental numbing habits
That make him feel the same way
It's a horrid, wretched, pitiful habit
To repeat the oldest mistakes
But we all define our selves through our habits
Can we just throw us away

Want to change but habits
Are by definition
Hard to cast away
On repeat, life is but
A flicker in existence
Running out of time

She sees a famil yer face in the mirror
So she doubts what she has become
But is there really a way to turn back now
From these new habits she's won
They were horrid, wretched, pitiful habits
She repeats an other's mistakes
But that is collateral of the changing
If there's meaning in the way


Want to change but habits
Are by definition
Hard to cast away
On repeat, life is but
A flicker in existence
Running out of time

Want to change but habits
Are by definition-
Don't say it again
On repeat, break away
Here comes the change, prepare
We are losing time

He hears the song
He knows it's time
Change with the melody
She hears the notes
Her ears perk up
Her heart knows all the words

He feels so alive
Through new eyes
He steps with great courage
She feels right at home
Through new eyes
She steps, takes his hand and

Completion is not necessary
But they adore each other
Through this they shall see proof of success
Though time may keep them going
They shall never forget what they shared
And how it freed both of them
From now on he'll wake up a whole man
And she smiles in the mirror
