Nothing Behind

The sun's getting swallowed by the tops of the trees
The stars come along by the grace of the breeze
The fact of the matter that cannot escape me
I may never leave something behind

I won't wait around on the moon anymore
I know that she's up there, it's hard to ignore
I don't like the way she's been looking at me
It's just something I don't need to see

Here I am, escaping myself
Let the truth gather dust on the shelf
And there's one thing that won't let me be
I have nothing important to leave

I won't wait around on the sun anymore
Exposing the truth that's so hard to ignore
I don't like the way he's been blinding my eyes
It's safer to hide behind lies

Here I am, escaping myself
Let the truth gather dust on the shelf
And there's one thing that won't let me be
I have nothing important to leave

Somewhere in the back of my mind
A wisdom that I'd like to find
Some air there that won't suffocate me
And I could just breathe

One time in life, by somebody's grace
A clasp of my hand, a touch on the face
Here I am, escaping myself
Let the truth gather dust on the shelf

And there's one thing that won't let me be
Somewhere in the back of my mind
A wisdom that I'd like to find
Some air there that won't suffocate me

And I could just breathe
