REASON
Words and music by Arno Carstens

Stare at the ceiling
It's the mark of the crash
Wish it’s all over
Let’s just go to bed

I’ll talk without reason
It’s everything now
All the time that I hold you
I never let go of

And when I said that I love you
It doesn’t end when the sound drops
Oh, it blows in the wind
It resides in the comfort of us knowing

We talk with no reason
No motive to mend
Well at least not one I see
That warrants that outburst again

It turns out the season
Sometimes we just all need to walk
Shed some old skin in the shadows of war

For us to hold on to
To repeat without reason
To understand all the protocols of breathing

I guess we’re still learning
Carpet-burn glowing
This is no time for break
When we both know that things can turn

We talk with no reason
No motive to mend
Well at least not one I see
That warrants that outburst again

It turns out the season
Sometimes we just all need to walk
Shed some old skin in the shadow of war

And I see no reason, it's unnecessary.
And without a question
We are the answers
No crude combinations
Just bad conversations
We are the reason, it is bliss
It’s just stuck in our fist
Shed some old skin in the shadow of war

Love you, love you, sound drops
