lyrics

i was stuck in the ground
trying to cover my eyes
trying to move all this light
spent all night trying
to remember your face
like trying to get
blood from a stone
there's nothing to say
and no one lie to

i can't justify my existence
my way of living
as if the weight of my insistence is significant
as if the things that i could say
could make a difference
my changes can't change your vision
i can't escape this prison i've been given
or given to myself to live in
but a prisons what it isnt
its a wave in a vast ocean
thats the same but individual as it came
across the surface of the earth
in my position
submits decisions of my design
but through the eyes of this precision
that lives inside a mental picture
and i can see you
but i can see through this
and i can see i don't need
to use excuses to do this
my life's a kind of music
and the mistakes are how it makes
it something great
the way it grates across your nerves
and makes me nervous and insane
but i deserve this
i deserve what i create
if i was perfect, who relates?
i earn my name
my royalty and kingship
divine masculine and feminine
intertwined, cause what i think is
in searching for some kind of meaning
i have found a kind of ground where i
can sound out what you're singing
with your doubt and fear you sink in
i'm proud to see the links in the chain
if no one else can see them
cause i tell them reach in
and find your fingers clasped
to hands that you belong to
my life is a love song
because i want you
on your merry way

i watch as the bomb dust hung in the sky
like a dim flock of endless prayers
spend my days out chasing the wind
trying to turn gold from your hair
there's nothing to say
the flux and decay

everyone is famous
everyone is capable of changing
everything to feel okay which is
true to why we came,
which is why i never try to close my eyes
i'd rather face it
i'll be the one to claim this
and call it by its name with
the certainty of language
i respect your measured pleasure
and the depths of your pain
its impressive in its range
and lets me know my own strangeness
is really just a silly little feeling
we're all engaged with
i'll never let you not remember
how you set it straight
with every breath, with every breath
i'll be consistent in my own way
to let you know i know things
precisely when you dont, wait...
i dont want to finish
i dont want to end this
but then again its not like i had tried
from the beginning to control this
kind of friendship
happy to in this
happy nonetheless
its all okay
its all okay
with all the hope that brings the day
the moment you walk away i'll say
with a confidence you made
and now it stays
be on your merry way
be on your merry way
cause you're great

dear moon
i have let you down
i have forgotten your light
when you're not around
i have forgotten why i loved you so
but tonight i look up at the sky
and i know why

you remind me of the beauty in a lonely heart
who finds its kindness and collects its parts
you remind of the purity of a light summer rainfall
that washes us clean from our shame when its painful
you remind that i'm human and that i'm proud to be
that i am like you makes my doubts seem weak
i think i found my home because i saw it in you
i saw the way the earth seems to know you too
i can't tell you how badly i want to hold you soon
but i know whats best, and sadly you should go - we're through
you have shown me who i could be and also who i am
and while those arent the same i need you here but i can't
i can't allow myself to cause you anymore pain
cause i know your name

and i know my life has changed
you have given me the proof that i could be what i believed
and i can't tell you how i needed it, but i dont need to be
the person who causes this hurt for you cause that hurts me
i'd rather love you where you are … wherever you're free
and when i can't see you i just know the moon is new
new beginnings, possibilities, and hopes and truths
i pray you find so many that you can't remember how this happened
how it turned on us… how endless ended
and if i cross your mind i hope its just my smile
watching you across an ocean happy like a child
i am lost without you know but i can find my feet
on the strength of your existence i will fly to bring
the greatest news i've ever heard that
love is real
love is real
love is real

love exists inside a woman who i kissed beneath a tree
with our initials added up just like our hands and feet
i took a picture of her holding up the sun
dear moon, run away to the horizon
fly - i'll tell everyone i see about you
i will sing and write
i'm afraid that's all i can do for you
but that's okay
i know you now,
and that wont ever change.
