lyrics

deep in my heart I’m stuck in my ways
when the exits are down for construction
I'm headed for the next state
the road that I’m on seems to go on for days
in times of despair is it fair
to pick a lane where I can wait?

** oh Lord, will we ever see the end of this?
** will you heal my eyes with your kiss?
** is our home put on hold?

deep in the pond you thought something stirred
but evening has proved insufficient
so leave without a word
the wind loves your voice,
and you wanted to be heard
in times of confusion is it true we head north like a bird?

** oh Lord, will we ever see the end of this?
** will you heal my eyes with your kiss?
** is our home put on hold?
** oh Lord, will we ever see the end of this?
** will you swallow my emptiness?
** is our home put on hold?

the cracks from my past are now in front of me
I’m nothing like the man I was gonna be
dirt from the forest is skirting my floor
and I can’t sweep it up with my atrophy

right now the loneliness is getting evident
any word of yours at this point would be heaven-sent
my body is wasting but my heartbeat is racing
these caves are much deeper than they’ve ever been
oh these caves are much deeper than they’ve ever been
