lyrics

It’s like I can’t get out of bed
After twenty years of early mornings.
The feeling sinks in
With the weight of regret.
It’s like my habits are dead and dying.
Leaving me behind
As I become a different person.
This metamorphosis is prophecy,
I saw it in the cards;
The woman by the sea.
And the person I was
Laid eyes on the person I could be.


And is this where I should put the chorus?
One the bards would surely sing for us?
Would repetition give you a clue
As to all of the changes
My mind’s gone through?
Would a melody change your mind
If you heard it sung a thousand times?
If all these meters rhymes and cues
Could give someone a better clue
I’d sing them all to you.


But it’s like I’m tongue tied.
It’s like I’m tongue tied up.
Trying to tell you all the things that I hide.
My courage fades
And I turn away.
Turn the tides
Pull back inside.
Where the new version of myself resides.
I see her eyes look into mine.
In my dreams she’s alive.
With confidence in stride,
But a sneer,
A slight,
Noticing features that she’s trying to hide
Pushes her back
Inside with tears in my eyes.


And yes.
I think I’ll use a chorus.
One the bards would surely
Sing for us.
Would repetition give you a clue
As to all of the changes
My mind’s gone through.
I hope a melody can change your mind.
If you hear it sung a thousand times.
I hope these meters
Rhymes and cues
Can give someone a better clue.
I’ll sing them all to you.


It’s like I’m standing on the edge.
With water below.


And I forgot how to swim.
Knowing if I jump
And breathe in slow
It’ll feel like I’ve been born again.
I might just feel alive again.
But I forgot how to swim.


(Words like anchors
Bring me down.
Without a sound,
They’ll surely drown me.
Hate like water fills my lungs,
No air to breathe
No voice to shout)
