Lyrics

Brushed

[Verse 1]

You say return from where you came

What if there's nothing left there for me now?

Looking for someone to assign

Blame me for anything

For anything

[Chorus 1]

Something's wrong, look for symmetry

So fucked up, calling back to me

[Verse 2]

How could I keep my promise to return?

100 years just isn't enough time

Oh, how I wanted to tell you

Oh, how I wanted to be there

When you say

[Chorus 2]

Something's wrong, look for symmetry

So far gone, calling back to me

Mind and matter, self and other

So fucked up, calling back

Brushed

[Outro]

Mind and matter, self and other

Mind and matter, self and other

Brushed
