Lyrics

Patterns in my life that I trace every day
Patterns as I say the things I always say
Patterns in the ceiling as I lie awake
Why are patterns haunting every move I make?
Just look
Here I am on cue again
Upset
Feeling torn in two again
Afraid
Saying I'm okay
Making little jokes 'til I run away again
And yet today
I am not the same
I feel my life slipping from its frame
Strange feelings rise
Feelings with no name
And I can't face them so I shake them hard
Fold them up
And tuck them safely away
Again
Patterns that begin as I walk through a door
Patterns in the curtains and the kitchen floor
Patterns in the day's routines I must arrange
Patterns in the ways I try but never change
Just look
As I'm thrown a curve again
I leap
Then I lose my nerve again
In tears
Running home I go
Secretly relieved
Safe with what I know again
And yet I know
I am not the same
Inside my heart is something I can't tame
I feel my mind bursting into flame
And I must change or else I'll break apart
Or break away
And end up having to start again
Patterns through the day
I seem to use to give my life a shape
Patterns through the house
That give me comfort when I need escape
Patterns that lead me nowhere at all
