lyrics

it’s like rain on a seed
waiting is all i need
timing is key for me
to grow beyond

and you
you’re wide awake now
yours is due...
dying to sleep now

a necessary change will come
for those who don’t
even know where they’re coming from

so true
you’re wide awake now
you hear me turning
from this light pollution

i’d rather be the song than the dug up ground
if you come close you can hear my sound
i’d rather be alone than a poisonous friend
when your back is turned the connection ends

loving me’s a lot of work
trust is the safest word
i know if you can see my worst
a person can’t decide your worth

sadness hidden in a joke
can’t see beyond the smoke
i’ll hide behind debris
it’s the only place i’ll be

too soon…

i need you here with me
i’m still right here

i need you here with me
waiting for those fears

please just one taste of the water
i know you have been like a father
please just one taste of this water
i know you have been like a father

at the end of this song
at the end of this album
i keep running
but i don’t know what i’m running from

at the end of my life
at the end of my life
who’s with me who’s sharp
who’s just a bread knife

at the end of my life
at the end of my journey
won’t toss and turn
won’t feel this yearning
