Here Lies
Lost in a Sea of Stone: Madeline Tully's Journey of Longing and Liberation
Lyrics
You talk and talk and talk about your travels North
You extensively discuss your journeys to the North.
And you walk and walk and walk until your feet aren't sore
You tirelessly walk until your feet no longer ache.
But you go out every night and cry for something more
Despite your actions, you cry every night, longing for something more.
You're lost you're lost you're lost you're lost in a sea of stone
You feel utterly lost in a vast expanse of unyielding stone.
It's the cost the cost the cost the cost for your life alone
There is a significant cost for living a solitary life.
But the wind don't blow where you are now
The wind doesn't blow where you currently reside.
For the fire surely should go out
The fire should have extinguished by now.
But it's love that keeps you stuck around
Love is the force that keeps you tethered to your current situation.
In the world that left you underground
You are trapped in a world that has abandoned you, keeping you underground.
You fought and fought and fought and fought for the greener grass
You fought persistently for a seemingly better life.
'Cause we thought we thought we thought we thought it would make it last
Collectively, it was believed that these efforts would lead to enduring happiness.
But the wind don't blow where you are now
The wind remains still in your current location.
For the fire surely should go out
The fire should have gone out by now.
But it's love that keeps you stuck around
Love is the binding factor that prevents you from leaving.
In the world that left you underground
You remain in a world that has forsaken you, keeping you underground.
And the heat goes out in a burning house
The warmth fades away in a burning house.
For your stories surely keep you proud
Your stories, though fading, still fill you with pride.
But its love that keeps you stuck around
Love is the force that binds you to your current circumstances.
In the world you should forgive by now
You should have forgiven the world by now, but you haven't.
But your heart will move on
Your heart will eventually move on.
When this long road ends in a song
At the end of this lengthy journey, your heart will find solace in a song.
But the wind don't blow where you are now
The wind still refuses to blow where you currently are.
For you've come to peace in this burning house
You find peace in a burning house.
But its love that finally sets you free
Finally, it is love that liberates you from a world you no longer need.
From a world you no longer need
Love is the key to freedom from the world you've outgrown.
