lyrics

Speak loud, speak now
Speak with purpose, meaning, intent
Don’t hide behind brown eyes
You won’t get anywhere with that
Shadowed thunderheads above
Blue hued conversation

I felt the storm that rose from your veins like a curse
I tasted truth between those parted lips of yours
But you’ve been down a broken road
And now you’re searching for a home

Can I be your sweet surrender?
Can our touch endure the fall?
You said-
“Don’t you promise me forever
I’ve lost once, I’ve lost it all”

Loose, tight, don’t fight
Clenching dissonance in spite of
Color, beauty
Unforgivable in all it cannot give to you

Breath is free and talk is cheap
But I’d pay millions for your words
I will not be a charity case

Trembling hands, seeking a heart to hold
Torrents of rain escape our minds and flood our souls
But you’ve been down this broken road
And now you’re searching for a home
Well-

[Chorus]

I don’t believe in a truth that is real,
That is everything we’ll ever need to be satisfied
I believe we can find peace with ourselves,
and find love in the strangest of places - strangest of minds

I don’t believe in a truth that is real, that is everything -
Why am I terrified - you are my everything.

Cause I felt the storm that rose from your veins like a curse
I tasted truth between those parted lips of yours
I was alive and you were empty
I was the earth smoldering beneath you
