Hiraeth from Modern Disease by The Burden

I’m in and out of glory days,
I’m dust on the shelf
I’m a whisper on the wind
I don’t need nobody’s help.

I’m scared of the future
and I’m clinging to the past
I’m thinking about where I’ve been
But this silence won’t last.

Sinking my teeth into familiar sights
I’ve got a jaws of a lion, still I’m losing this fight.


Away from this, I’ll reminisce, I know I’ll be fine
Come to grips with everything, and lose sense of time.
Feeling for something, something to hold onto
set my goals and follow through

I cling to transparency,
The future is truly scaring me
I cling to transparency
I’m a sucker for feeling sorry for myself.
no, I’m feeling sorry for myself

Sinking my teeth into familiar sights
I’ve got a jaws of a lion, still I’m losing this fight.


Away from this, I’ll reminisce, I know I’ll be fine
Come to grips with everything, and lose sense of time.
Feeling for something, something to hold onto
set my goals and follow through

I’m on the outside looking in
To a beautiful scene
With that homesick heartbreak
Time is trapped on the screen

If only I could change things
To the way it was back then
Keep my blind ambition
I wouldn’t have to pretend.

I’m vulnerable,
but I swear I’ll be fine
time is still ticking on this heart of mine

I’m vulnerable
But I’ll be okay
the presence of past tense
won’t wash me away.
