lyrics

I couldn’t bring myself to ask for forgiveness
Or allow myself strength to carry on
But after the smoke clears I’ll find my way back
The simplest form I’ll write in this song
Strike me down my friend I’ve got too much to say
A lopsided heart I hold in my chest
But after the wind dies let it echo in the hall
Find me gazing like the rest

Please ignore my mind it’s far too loud now
There’s no other way you’ll come around
All I ever wanted was all I’ve ever seen
Singular rationale it seems

Darkness feels like it’s lurking ‘round every corner
A comforting friendship I still hold
And nevermind that I call him by his first name
I’ll send him out into that cold

Please ignore my mind it’s far too loud now
There’s no other way you’ll come around
All I ever wanted was all I’ve ever seen
Singular rationale it seems

And how can it be that everything fades
But leaves a trace out of sight
And how can it be that I’m no longer doubtful
That nothing ever dies, ever dies

Please help me I’m blind it’s far too cloudy now
The air is so damp and full of sound
All I ever wanted was all I’ve ever seen
A singular rationale it seems
All I ever wanted was someone to believe
And sing all these love songs to me
