I draw down from the well where it gathers The illusion is heavy And it takes a maverick to stand knee deep and keep pouring Life force in a formless void Sitting in the waiting room All I can see is a room full of fallen leaves, dreaming of the tree Saying, I don't want to give you everything given to me So let's you, you, you and I do this till we die And love each other As if every line was a ladder we can climb through time I ran back to the child I was And I saw a stranger in a jacket that you wore and hurt me to remember the shrinking Of fully formed person to slim definition But when the dark feels like it won't ever lift That's when the sky grows pale, and the morning lives So we just take it day by day Because staying doesn't mean you never want to run away It means, if ever you open your eyes, I will be there Yeah They used to tell their children not to stare And now I'm picking up the slack but my hands are slipping So I stand on the line that goes back to the breath before speaking All I'm saying is I'm just trying to be someone the child I used to be, could believe in
