lyrics

Falls no shadow where shines no sun
Are you healed? Or have you just begun?
Heaven’s stairway spirals up
Brings us to our darkness as seen on TV from above

I can’t stay forever but I fixate like I can
Here’s to starting over in this moment,
the only, only one we’ve really got

Here’s hoping the right gods fall in love with us
Forever means nothing if you truly learn to trust
(Arms down in the reeds slow breathing surrender)

I’m only haunted by my racing mind
So I surrender and slowly breathe in time
Lay my arms in the reeds of a river run
Falls no shadow where shines no sun

I can’t play forever but I delay like I can
Here’s to starting over in this moment
the only only one we’ve really got

The world’s more than your state of mind, I find
Forever means nothing if you really leave it all behind

Spirit of the stairwell tells me healing spirals up
Here’s hoping the right gods fall in love with us
