i don t hear you speak anymore you re fading away today i was a weightless gust of easy southern air i don t feel your heat any more you never could stay i dropped the awkward chains of earthly promises i drifted and my emptiness was blissfully aware that all that mattered of myself was there i thought that i knew who you were but how could i know today i was a lonely rusted wreck beside the road you re always searching for things you carry with you and every life that passed by mired me deeper i waited for the rain to pour and wash me clean and cold or for the loving earth to take me whole each day i wait for some new shape to take me till i know what is the shape that truth will take what will it show waiting i graze the sky grasping all i pass by fall lose all all falls away when you started dreaming i thought it would be fleeting was it a naive thing thinking we would always be you ve lost your face now you take up no space now you ve turned around shut down without a goodbye without making a sound i come and go and never know when i will find my way but i will trust in life and lust to lead me day by day each day i wait for some new shape to take me till i am the honesty i long to be where i began
