about

Corner of bedroom, window open. My favorite.

lyrics

I turned a profit on the rule:
To get, one must learn how to give.
And all I got was a life not to live.
I was showing off again,
To all how humble I could get.
They’ll never see how I would make myself sick.
With the soldiers of the fortress,
Night will take these sights away.
For in the dark I am allowed to stay.
There is a nothing in the field I live in,
Love is kept at bay.
I have a habit and it pulls me away.

Because I don’t know, I won’t go.

Understand that when I shake your hand,
I do so mostly blind.
I am not careful with what goes inside.
This cathedral is a tomb,
Where pomp and pride come to deny.
I can’t imagine how they feel on the inside.
Oh come encourage what is frowned upon,
But for me, you know it is right.
I need a conscience to design the inside.
And in the meddle of the soul,
I hear of winds and floods of light.
Can you imagine what they look like inside?

Because I don’t know, I won’t go.

Along the shoreline I made your will mine.
I am amazed at the way that you taste under Pacific waves.
You are the life-giver. You are the soul-singer.
I am amazed at the way that you love when there is nothing to love in this.
