lyrics

soon you’ll go and i will say you’re wrong to even try
gone like air i’ll be aware of days that pass me by
keeping the strain in the days that remain
i’ll be breaking to pieces inside
but stone-like silent spaces will keep me alive

cautious now i step somehow to where i know i’ll be
when i’ve grown into the life that somewhere waits for me
slipping away at the end of the day
i’ll be breaking to pieces inside
stone-like silence raging like rivers inside

summer ends still we depend on what we thought was free
the understanding comes too late it’s left a hole in me
the lessons we learn when the house starts to burn
and bits of us float in the sky
but stone-like silent spaces still keep me alive

now i’m alone inside this home where broken voices come
to echo down beneath the ground untouched by winter sun
moths in my hair keep the sleep from my lair
but the lightening morning will come
honed by endless fire i’ll burn till i’m done
