Vigil Annie

Maybe it's more than you've found
When does giving up look like settling down
You can find me wherever you try
But you just try and remember your lines
I just want you to say it like you mean it
Can you help me out
Standing right where you are
Like a planet afraid of the stars
But you make it up in your mind
That you're defeated wherever you begin
Ephemerality of mine
At rest upon your shoulder
And you cover me in lights
To be enough
Or am I too much
As to a mother all will gather
You're afraid of taking your time
Yet you're worried that you're wasting your life
With the visions and prophetic lines
That always spell out whatever you'd like
But you know that the present time
Is always waiting for you to arrive
I'm tired of turning it down
No longer to censor myself
Just as I breathe now, with nothing to prove
Who I'm becoming, to be anew
Ephemerality of mine
At rest upon your shoulder
And you cover me in lights
To be enough
Or am I too much
As to a mother all will gather
As to a mother all will gather
