Myths

Suddenly my senses slip away
What is it they always say, turn another page?
But everything I see Is full of saccharine similes
That makes my spirit ache, and now I feel it everyday
It's the dizzy spell I meet at the edges of belief
And It's the sound of my heart pounding
Swelling up in me when I'm too scared to leave

It's a hallelujah
And I'm learning how to sing
There's a quiet chorus
Bleeding into everything
And someday soon the day is going to come

My flickering flame, dancing for rain that doesn't pour
Chasing shimmers on the desert floor
And I keep coming back for more
But there's no garden from the seeds
And I'm starving for meaning
But there's a weight and there's a worth
To every myth you make to kill the constant ache

And there's a hallelujah
And I'm learning how to sing
It's a growing chorus
Bleeding into everything
And someday soon the day is going to come

And you'll be buried in the weight
Gather all your rage
And take a swing
Until you find your own way
Carry everything into another day
