lyrics
All that you know
Is that you feel alone
But you can’t go home
‘Cause that place is gone
So you built stone walls so that you’d feel safe
In time, stone crumbles all the same
And you’re left exposed
So you wait
For your name to be called
But the pieces don’t ever fall
To make a perfect whole
No, you gotta go walk past your waist
Let the tide roll you away
Til you don’t know which way is up
See, you got your feet planted now
But the bottom falls out
You start falling down, down
And the whole time you’re hoping that you’ll hit the ground
So you learn to fake it
Take a new name
But you just keep making
All the same mistakes
Keep hitting all the same brick walls
Wonder if you’ll ever learn anything at all
And you pray that you’ll change
God let me change
But when you see
That empty blue sky
You know it’s a desolate sea
There’s nothing hiding behind
That veil that’s covering our eyes
It’s the most heartbreaking way to find
That you’re in control
But really what can you control?
Nothing. No.
You gotta clean your soul off
Take some spiritual detox
Cleanse yourself of your parent’s religion
Cause you know that Jesus will always hang and Buddha’s beneath the Bodhi tree
Still, still sitting
