lyrics

It happens so fast
Fully engulfed in the spell
Consumed in the grips
Yet stillness surrounds

You are not the only person
Who has ever felt this way
The ebb and flow, the up and down
Slight panic when you realize
You are lifting off the ground

And what comes next
Is to land on the mundane frontier
Of tired washed out
And worn out years

A dull aching sadness
In the back of your mind
Knowing it wouldn't last
And does anything
When you hope it will be different this time

You look at this body
These bones wrapped in goo
Asking why does it put me through much
But there is no why in you

You just are
And they bustle and play silly games
And try to prove
That they somehow matter more than
The person they are sitting next to

But then stillness comes
Every so often
When I'm longing for it
Like a closeness unknown
An ancient gift
That delicately holds my heart
