[Verse 1] Transcending to twilight, contemplating this lifetime A potent trance state of provenance rooted deep in my timeline The sound of a voice, the scent of a wine Without a choice, recalling moments on autopilot mind Hardest times I've laughed, cruelest times I cried Some memories feel cut in half, still taken me for a ride [Chorus] Sentimental tranquility Riding oxytocin off of a memory Capturing hints of equanimity Oh, the insufficiency Of this fading moment of tranquility Like twilight fading As the horizon recedes The fragility of memory creates the misery For why we grieve [Verse 2] Drawing new constellations Echoes of our own reassimilations Broken dreams, broken concentration We push and pull on our imagination seeking out a clear distillation Minds are tricky Some memories more slippery than sticky Photos and videos saved to a cloud Relieved these moments are kept safe and sound [Bridge] Reaching back for these sentimental moments Requires intentional postponement of time like you own it You control it... But it hurts different when the moment owns you As you’re pulled through reflections in the rearview, Tracing things that you've been through, No screen, no camera view— Just raw sensations acting like residue. Slow down to feel it with me, won't you? [Chorus] Sentimental tranquility Riding oxytocin off of a memory Capturing hints of equanimity Oh, the insufficiency Of this fading moment of tranquility Like twilight fading As the horizon recedes The fragility of memory creates the misery For why we grieve [Outro] Some sentimental attachments are still there Others have detached, vanished to thin air No lock, no latch, just detrimental loss My oh my, these slippery memories come with a cost Try as I try These complicated feelings can result in exhaustion Other times I get lost in... My tranquil fascination of sentimental imagination ... Mmm-mmm-mmm-mm Lost in love, lost in hurt Lost in imagination
