Hush About the City - The Life Surrounding

The ink from the matte print pages
Lit my face and illuminated
Grace I've never been to in the flesh
The sky played a brilliant night
And the earth was glowing
And all I thought was
How am I going to handle all the rest
Without so much as a dream, I started speaking
And all the words I heard myself saying
Took my breath away

I sat with the songbook open
Nostalgia choking every word
And my eyes tearing till I couldn't see the words
The kids of friends I'm missing
Singing bringing holy water
Pour it on my aching feelings
The life surrounding me its heart is beating
The colours bleeding
Into my grayscale

The rain soaks half the curtains
I lay on my back awaiting
The unhappiness I can't deny
I wrote of joy upon the window sill
And it's there still
But somehow I believed it was a lie
Tell me now oh Youth what is your meaning
To send my heart careening
To know the great divide
