Survival Chimes

I tried to speak my first words
Listening to the birds
Keeping every thought under a page
Is that really what you heard?
The sounds I tried to form
Folding all my words right into to place

I was on the phone
With a real good friend
Heaven only knows if I could recognize myself
If you mean it
No needing to pretend
This season's got me weak again
Soft eyes, spotlights
Hope you have a real good time
Out there on the island

Why do I always need to be one to hide it
Come around and you bring everything to silence
Is my soul surviving?
Could you excuse me I just need to be awake at dawn
Am I really gonna follow everywhere you want
Is my soul surviving?

There you were just like a visionary danger
I know life is far to short to be a stranger
Invisible unwanted
Physical but haunted
You walk a tightrope in your mind
Are you running out of time?
On a fresh new thought with a renegade twitch
Everyone you knew was onboard
Some extra thought when we shade it in
Clear away the dirt

Why do I always need to be one to hide it
Come around and you bring everything to silence
Is my soul surviving?
Could you excuse me I just need to be awake at dawn
Am I really gonna follow everywhere you want
Is my soul surviving?
Could you excuse me I just need to be awake at dawn
Am I really gonna follow everywhere you want
Is my soul surviving?
