about

The lyrics on this track is one of the deepest on the EP. The song itself handles topics such as depression neglect and finding yourself. In a time where information is so abundant its easy to have option paralysis and get blinded from the bigger picture. Because going through life with the lens of right now is like trying to breathe underwater.

lyrics

These words are not the ones of a wise man
It may mean nothing other than words written in the sand
As the waves crash like heart beat of a storm
It hurts to think how just long you've been gone
I've been living without sight roaming around the dark trying to find the light and
In the night on my knees I thought I saw the eyes of an angel welcoming me aboard a ship to wait out the storm
It's been awhile can seek refuge in your warmth

Am I not blind
I am susceptible to pain
As the emotions flow through me
Am I out of my mind
It's times like this
I wish I couldn't feel anything

Someone told me you were dying
Someone told me you were lying

Among the many lights
I see a castle that's fit for the queen
But entering it makes you lie in a place of weakness

The wall has been built and it's six feet high
Your hand wrapped around it's sides
Transparent I see the face in the light
But the dream ends when I open my eyes
(God can you see? We are the same. Can You believe in love without a whim)

Someone told me you were dying
Someone told me you were lying

Someone told me you were dying
(That you were dying)
Someone told me you were lying
(That you were lying)
Someone tell me I feel divided
Someone help me I'm really trying
(I'm really trying)

I am an open book
A nursery rhyme an easy read
With a rigid regular rhyme scheme
A A B B
Flip the pages in many ways it's biblical phrases decree
Success in the near future with tribulations in the present at least as far as I can see

But stop I don't want this to be me
This is a feign reflection of what I can really be
It's violent in nature , like Adam's apple tree
I am forbidden to talk back to take these opportunities

We sit in the sun waiting to dry up
A promise from the people who used sow up
Our hearts for when we were still the fragile empty cups
But this cup is brimming, enough is enough
