Not Grieving from Evergreen by Wolves & Machines

Hollowed out, the gold and the glitter don’t stay
I didn’t know
Can’t tell you how, I guess the greenery got in the way
I let it grow
And it’s better now that the scenery’s starting to change
But I wonder if you’re grieving anything

In my sleep, walls around me are starting to cave in
And I can’t sleep
The memories, like flowers that grow in the shade
Hang over me
Inside a dream, the visions of closure decay
I’m waking alone, grieving everything

I’d dig under wells just to bury the way that it feels
It cycles in swells until it heals
And all of the power that you held in your hands
You didn’t know what you had
Now it’s gone

I got lost in the sound of everyone saying the same thing
I block it out
It got so loud, now the visions are starting the grey
I let it go
Heavy now, it’s the feeling of shedding the chains
Wouldn’t know if I’m still grieving anything

Start again, before the ink’s even dried to the page
I breathe it in, and I feel alright
Am I wrong if I’m not grieving anything?
