I Dream Of Mending

Started with a name That's the only part that's ever been the same From me to you, to nearly everything From head to toe, to structures of the brain So then why am I So attached by your hip And I hate when you say goodbyes? Like there's a promise Unspoken but in our eyes Breaking down the frame of mind I'm counting out the fractured time And I dream of mending the space in-between the lies, lies, lies Starting with the nightmares late at night Ending with the pain we kept inside Echoes in the hallway cross my mind Like images of you, or me, or a world gone blind If I can't do something, if I've no control Then why am I wondering when I'll be made whole If nothing is broken, then I don't need fixing, y'know Even if the odds Are stacked so high you cannot see the top A single push can make the whole thing drop But picking up the pieces, you'll never stop So then why, oh why Do we pop our champagne If we're just 'bout to change our minds? Keeping our mouths shut If only to keep us kind Breaking down the frame of mind I'm counting out the fractured time And I dream of mending the space in-between the lies, lies, lies Starting with the nightmares late at night Ending with the pain we kept inside Echoes in the hallway cross my mind Like images of you, or me, or a world gone blind If I can't do something, if I've no control Then why am I wondering when I'll be made whole If nothing is broken, then I don't need fixing, y'know Starting with the nightmares late at night Ending with the pain we kept inside Echoes in the hallway cross my mind Like images of you, or me, or a world gone blind If I can't do something, if I've no control Then why am I wondering when I'll be made whole If nothing is broken, then I don't need fixing, y'know Breaking down the frame of mind I'm counting out the wasted time And I dream of mending the space in-between the lie

about

"I Dream Of Mending" was begun within a livestream. Many if not all of the lyrics were written during a partial stream of consciousness, and so the song itself has a pretty open interpretation. Personally, I think it's about searching for truth, whatever that may be.
