about

A song for resting demons with company.

lyrics

I lost my mind as a boy I hardly know.
Time is a tool I abused so I could show
Myself I was ready to walk into the world.
Lies on the wind, they are always carried home.

Foolish was I to believe I could outrun,
All of my worries they're faster than a gun.
Now as they tangle my feet to the ground,
Pulling me back, oh my mind I have found.

Maybe it's okay,
Maybe it's fair.
The roots that bind me are
Everywhere.
Tying me down to
These fields of gold.
Oh sweet decay,
You just do as you're told.

Skin turning green, I am hidden in the trees.
Leaves through my hair, I have never been seen.
Eyes lose their glimmer, alive I am not,
Just matter and movement, a fool once forgot.

But here comes a girl, oh her stare's like a fire.
It tears through my brambles, I burn on the pyre.
She offers escape from these burdens I made.
And I'm born again, as a friend she did save.

Oh
Oh

Maybe it's okay,
Maybe it's fair.
The roots that bound me,
Burn in the air.
You're carrying over,
My fields of woes.
A kingdom of worry,
Black not gold.
Maybe it's okay,
Maybe it's fair.
My heart's exploding,
I fly without care.
Free all reason,
Free of my fears.
I soar through the smoke clouds,
I see it all clear.

I lost my mind as a boy I knew well.
Trembling with worries, a story to tell.
Now on the breeze, all my ease cools my mind.
Your words lay me down, oh my sweet lullaby.
