Everything All Together

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
