From the recording Forward Through Forests

Lyrics

I tried to stand, but now I lie -
a drop in open sea,
a dry-eyed blink in tideless time.

Can't catch my speeding mind:
racing to survive,
I left my tired self behind.

In the shadow of sleepless night,
every hurt I hide flickers in my mind.
Time grinds, and my whole world shakes;
I hold myself together while my hard heart breaks.

And God knows how my world has crashed,
bleeding out through broken glass;
I feel I'm burning through my final chance.

I tried to see outside of time -
horizons hold the maps,
hide away their wide design.

I can't wonder anymore.
I'm carried by a hope,
of one day reaching greener shores.

And God knows how my world has crashed,
bleeding out through broken glass;
I feel I'm burning through my final chance.
And though I'm blind, it's you who bleed;
your hands torn with scars for me.
And love with a final breath
makes broken bodies dance.
