From the recording Be Where I Am
Lyrics
I’m feeling restless, wanna rile you up
Feel the water level climbing as I empty my cup
We’ve all got a lot of history to choke down
We swallow our poison and pass it around
Don’t we all feel so ashamed?
Splinters peeking through the grain
Rising up to meet the flame
Put our sense on trial
We embrace denial
My heart leaps as I fall
You don’t know me at all
I’m feeling faded, wanna put me away?
My colors all bleeding through a blanket of grey
A crumpled up smile under layers of paint
Become what we carry, buckle under the weight
Don’t we all feel so ashamed?
Splinters peeking through the grain
Rising up to meet the flame
Put our sense on trial
We embrace denial
My heart leaps as I fall
You’re not like me at all
I hear only one call
And your voice is a wall
That you build to keep me low
I’m feeling crazy, wanna give it a name?
Match to the wick, you say we’re one and the same
Twist out that smile, strip the layers of pain
Forget why we love and we become what we hate
Don’t we all feel so ashamed?
Splinters peeking through the grain
Rising up to meet the flame
Put our sense on trial
We embrace denial
My heart leaps as I fall
My heart bleeds as I call
You don’t know me
