the calm and the ease

you're warm when it's cold

it takes a little hold

of the spaces we fill

and the hopes we've made

still

we all want what we can't have

we all reach but just can't grab

we're all dogs on leads

scratching through the leaves

we're afraid of the highs

'cause the lows are so low

yeah afraid to feel anything at all

we all want what we can't have

we all reach but just can't grab

we got every cliche etched in our skin

it looked kind of good right then

it looks kind of cheap right now

we all want what we can't have

we all reach but just can't grab

we're all dogs on leads

scratching through the leaves

for that everlasting

always missing piece

i miss the calm and the ease

the stillness and wonder

while the nightmares don't cease

i miss the calm and the ease

the stillness and wonder

while the nightmares don't cease

i miss the calm and the ease

the stillness and wonder

while the nightmares don't cease

my heart is a lead weight

a fist in my chest

squeezes and tightens with each

terrifying breath

if calm is collected then i'm drowning in fears

piling them sky high

my own towering years

we're all dogs on leads

scratching through the leaves

we're all dogs on leads

scratching through the leaves

i miss the calm and the ease

i miss the calm and the ease

i miss the calm and the ease

i miss the calm and the ease

i miss the calm and the ease

i miss the calm and the ease

i miss the calm and the ease

i miss the calm and the ease
