Scott Siskind – Piece by Piece | Rock music review

Lyrics of Scott Siskind – Piece by Piece

It’s not the first time this water’s calm
without the swell, my body’s still
maybe next year I’ll go with the waves
remind me what it feels like to wade
despite how slow the current flows
in time it breaks down even the hardest stone
faster now the days go by
I’m starting not to notice how we break down too
piece by piece

How can I ever know what is right
When the pull’s just too strong from both sides?
we just do what we do to survive
until the next time

When it’s done, call me by my full name or don’t call me at all
because I’ll be more than luck and pure statistics
life without a name is barely a life lived at all
facts make up the fears we see
fiction makes us fear what we believe
it’s why I’m rarely calm to say
it’s why you rarely notice
until you break down too piece by piece

How can I ever know what is right
When the pull’s just too strong from both sides?
we just do what we do to survive
Just like the last time

We were pulled by the sides
And I immersed myself
to avoid the undertow
and swam out from these shores
In the water I’d sway
in total clarity
worries letting go
now I’m missing those waves
and how they kept me so light
back in the reeds
I find dried up riverbeds
I lie on the clay with silt on my hands
you can find me here all laid out piece by piece
