lyrics

We drown in stacks of paper We put it off ‘till later
“Can we slow it down?”
We can't afford it
So we push through

My hair’s a little grayer
My speaking voice it wavers “Can we slow it down?”
I ask my racing heart
But we push through

Then I’m exposed by this openness To hear my thoughts so effortless They push me to the precipice
And it's a long way down

I force myself to reckon with The lines I’ll leave unwritten They push me to the precipice It’s a long way down from here My darling, I fear

Driving through the fire
The blackened trees conspire With flowers
The pops of yellow
In gray debris

This gentle indication
From destruction comes creation If you slow it down
Beneath the embers
You’ll see green

And I’m exposed by this openness To hear my thoughts so effortless They push me to the precipice And it's a long way down

I force myself to reckon with The lines I left unwritten
They push me to the precipice It’s a long way down from here My darling, I fear
