Step in Line

Step in line
With my eyes all the time on his back
And my new bite has almost lapsed
All that I have left unsung
Am I alright or almost there?
All that I am, all that I’m not
Am I too bright, or almost there?

Forgotten Angle
03:52
|
|||
|
Forgotten angle, forged by the same old
All my life is a field I sow
An earthly bind, in the weeds I get so
Bored by the tower
I’m not hoping for a savior
I’m only sifting through what’s given
An earthly bind or something bitter
All my life is a field I sow
Surrounded by the weeds I want more
Bored by the hour
I get lost and forget to tell my mother that I love her
I’m only sifting through what’s given

I Am Opening
08:38
|
|||
|
I am opening
Like a flower’s heart
As you’re standing there
And I think I might be someone you want
Or a softer thought
I am opening
And I welcome it
Like the summer rain, or a sudden breeze
Yeah, I am listening to the meadow lark
A world that’s whispering through my shadow’s arc
I am opening
Like a flower’s song
And I see you there
And I think you might be someone I trust
Or a softer thought

On the Path
04:27
|
|||
|
On the path
I flow forward then back again
I am offering all my in between
Out on the blackest lake
I’m floating among
The skins I have loved in
On the path
We walk homeward and laugh
I dreamt of knowing the difference in seeing trust in a feeling
Out in the darkness

Way Things Grow
07:15
|
|||
|
I don’t know the way things grow
When the seed is thrown and the wait is slow
Should I feel older? A gaping hole
How could I feel more than a hazy glow?
I don’t know, but I’m waking slow
How could I feel more than a hazy glow?
Your voice is another field that flows

Human
02:28
|
|||
|
I go unnoticed, the fault of no one
And you take it all
When you take it I fold
I’m only human
The crutch of feeling like someone
And the looser it fits, I am told
Lends a closer look into the space that holds me
|

A Little Older
02:45
|
|||
|
Trade this moment for a feeling
I don’t think I will think straight for a while
Forget all reason in this scheming head
I am realizing the trials of falling
It gets a little old doesn’t it?
So I guess I’ll find the right words to say to you
Do I have to realign every time?
It gets a little old doesn’t it?
And I get a little older with it

Poison
02:46
|
|||
|
Oh, my life flows out
And I’m floating away
When all this poison in me
Flows the colors of envy
Like an innocence I’ve worn into bitterness, a thorn
Float again
|
||||

How Can I Learn
04:00
|
|||
|
How did I learn, how did I learn the way?
It’s not that I want innocence, I’m just facing all I’d forgotten was left
And how can I learn the way to say no
When all that we’ve shown is wider than feeling
I’m mastering the waves of unfeeling erosion
Something in the way he unbuttoned my shirt without asking
How can I learn the way to show
All that matters when I’ve barely grown
I’m better than this but I’m battered
Embarrassed by something I missed in the moment

This version really just grabbed my attention and made me appreciate it and the original so much more, and I love it for that! “I want to believe. Instead, I look at the sky and I feel nothing.”
