Lyrics

I climbed above the dark unknown
And saw the place I’d made my home.
Years that I held out for my fate
Did I really have to wait?

I wandered out into the crowd
I heard my name condemned aloud
I swore that I’d never trust a friend
I’ll be coming back again.

I drew myself up from the page
And watched the sunshine rearrange
All of the shadows changed their shape
Did I need it to create?

You fumbled blindly through the smoke
The fire rose up in my throat
How did the silence really sound?
You’ll be coming back around.

I asked the ocean how I might
Get back above into the light
“How did you really run that far?” she asked,
“Is that really who you are?”

“I didn’t know when I’d talk that you’d answer
I didn’t know when I’d swim through your seas
Through the height of the tide that my hands were
holding oceans of stars over me”

I climbed above the dark unknown
And saw the place I’d made my home.
Years that I held out for my fate.
Did I really have to wait?
