lyrics

I am broken of my rest
I thought I heard the past blow by
She looped across my barren chest
A fugitive white butterfly

She said "lift your head, and straighten up
drink the morning like a cup"
I look around for golden eyes
And start to realize.

Why don’t you hear me when I cry?
You do not answer
Though you tried
The one I told my naked thoughts just looked on past me and forgot

I bent the truth and held it fast
To make it real and make it last
My branches reaching towards your sky
I could not reach the light

But at one beneath too deep to mark
Our roots lay twisted in the dark
And all in one they slip and move
Together now a tongue in groove

Don’t you hear me when I cry
You do not answer
Though you try (though you try)
The one I told my naked thoughts just looked on past me and forgot
