Planet Dearth

I tried to find solace in outdated ways
The shine wouldn't keep unless I chased the rays
And when the sun set, I had strayed far from my home
My home

The dark, it made faces all look the same
The sky couldn't tell the chemicals from the rain
I sowed Planet Dearth 'fore the frost of a deep cold
So cold

Only
Only from way high
I can see everything
Now I'm feeling the weight again

I tried not to change in a world full of change
The storm tried to shake the ways I held in the pain
And when the sun came, I had strayed far from my soul
My soul

Only
Only from way high
I can see everything
Now I'm feeling the weight again

Sorrows
I'll bank on tomorrows
Pray to see everything
Now I'm feeling the weight again
Now I'm feeling the weight again
Now I'll feel it away again
And I'll feel it away again
Oh, I'll feel it away
feel it away
feel it away...

You are next to my bedside.
You are wrapped around my neck.
You are the slab of wood
between the wall and my door.

You are the words on my cork board,
the candles on my table,
the bag that carries roots.

You dissuade me with your mind
and beckon me with your heart.
You're a hairs-width away
and we're a thousand miles apart.

You are a waking dream made manifest,
a painting of an unpolished emerald,
a wing-clipped angel
who will haunt me
till the end of days.

How can I forsake you?
Every day the sky speaks your name
and it rings my body
like a singing bowl.

While at this point
you might just be an idea
in my stubborn head,
that idea
has moved me enough to love.
