Lyrics
The air goes to steal
The atmosphere carries a subtle intention
The softest of sorrows to turn this all real
The gentlest of sadness transforms reality
Creeps out of the earth
Emerges from the ground
Makes itself heard
Makes its presence known
To the loneliest voices
Addresses the most isolated voices
Lost words on the shelf sing ‘I’m not well’
Abandoned words on a shelf declare 'I'm not well'
Comforts to the undecided
Consolations for those uncertain
You need to learn how to fight
Learn how to confront challenges
Dear eyes deceive me
Beloved eyes, do not mislead me
Longing for leaving the mundane to die
Yearning to escape the ordinary and let it perish
Mind longs for an anchor
The mind seeks stability
Heart falls for the savior
The heart is drawn to the one who saves
Don’t cry for it
Do not weep for it
Why are we running
Questioning the reason for our pursuit
After what’s gone from us
Chasing what is no longer with us
Not meant to rest
Not destined for repose
Not meant to rest
-Colors linger
Colors persist
Right before our fingers
Just before our grasp
Forgotten to solitude
Abandoned to loneliness
Victims to these false wounds
Victims of deceptive injuries
I’m overgrown
I have grown excessively
If you feel it near you
If you sense its presence near you
Don’t open your eyes
Refuse to open your eyes
Innocent winds
Gentle winds, though innocent, will speak falsehoods
Will tell you their lies
Curiosity will guide me to an unfamiliar companion
Curiosity’s hand will lead me to
Anything and everything
An unknown friend
Because nothing comes to a halt
Anything and all
Guide these lips to write on the page
Because nothing stalls
What else am I doing to give these breaths meaning
Take these lips to the page to write
Expressing these breaths as life
What else am I doing to call these breaths life
Questioning the reason for our pursuit
Oh to call these breaths life
Chasing what is no longer with us
Why are we running
Not destined for repose
After what’s gone from us
-Not meant to rest
Colors persist
Not meant to rest
Just before our grasp
Colors linger
Abandoned to loneliness
Right before our fingers
Victims of deceptive injuries
Forgotten to solitude
I have grown excessively
Victims to these false wounds
-I’m overgrown
-Overgrown
-Dear eyes deceive me
Beloved eyes, do not mislead me
Oh they’re longing for leaving
Oh, they yearn to depart
Dear eyes deceive me
Beloved eyes, do not mislead me
Oh I’m overgrown
Oh, I have grown excessively
Mind longs for the anchor
The mind seeks stability
And heart falls for the savior
The heart is drawn to the one who saves
My dear eyes deceive me
Beloved eyes, do not mislead me
Oh and please don’t leave me
Oh, and please do not leave me
