Palindrome

I’ve been searching under
rocks and stones, been looking for
some clue or another
bit of proof that I wasn't just here before

I thought I’d made it
but now It seems the beginning is just like the end
And I can’t change it
Everything I learn, I just unlearn again

Spend a lifetime
spend a lifetime
spend a lifetime waiting
Forever rising
forever dying
Palindrome

I’m in a constant echo
of dark to light, then back to dark again
And all I want is to let go
but I swear that where it ends is right around the bend

Sometimes breathing in is all I can take
Sometimes I’ll just stare at the clock and wait
And sometimes I can’t seem to treat
the frightening speed of my own heartbeat
