Tumbleweed

It’s not just a metaphor
These times, this life
We’ve got to make **** momentarily suffice
And when you try to fight it
And when you try to lose it
Sometimes you find you just, 
Got to roll in it
Sometimes you find you’ve just
Won back the ****

There’s a taste that you don’t wanna swallow
Yeah try for meaning but you feel so hollow 
Memories linger sweet and still its
Hard oh
You can’t find what, what you’re lookin for
Can’t find what, what you’re lookin for
No… yeah, no


---Another verse inspired by Mother Mother and Ryan Guldemond's chords! Love this group!!! The "yeah, no" is very much inspired by their song "Letter"...one of my favorite songs of all time :)
My favorite lyrics from that song: 
"Love is just a syllable, and pain's the same
So is it just a little overkill writing the days away?"

Brilliance, no? --sorry, badly fangirling. XD ------

What a coaster ride. This is, essentially, how my Mondays go. :) Fighting that hollow feeling...

Fangirl to your heart's content, dear. Words move us differently and something can help us "keep our S$IT together" why not? Interesting piece, here. Hugs
