lyrics

The whisper of your name
In the sequined summer rain
Is lucid as a bell
On the nature of your ways
Fall only callous eyes
Too weak to judge you well
You’ll leave the past behind
In striving to be free
Free from the chain
That buckles and sways
From the family tree

I gave you blind encouragement
And faith, for what it’s worth
Hoped clarity, like vegetables
Would bubble from the earth
Yet, on such fantasies
We suffocate from birth
As folly and sin
Seep from within
To feed the sacred dirt

Faraway
People say
That the boy was unmoved by your love
But it was never enough
And what you thought
Was the empty talk
Of lunacy dying in the dark
Was fortitude to change
For the malice you impart
Won’t help us find a way

A killing jar enclosed
To show me purity
In deadly nightshade’s glow
From a house of wood so thin
Shed a light that shone within
With voices soft and low
I’d have been your everything
But how were you to know?
As secrecy reigns, it’s a delicate game
Yet we play on our own

Faraway
People say
That the boy was unmoved by your love
But it was never enough
To fake it through the day

On crying shoulders, quiet and meek
Truth lies in a feeling, you see
When all alone, it comes on so slow
Gather ways to talk
If that’s what you want
