lyrics

We were not the thunder
We were the fearful dog
seeds under the barrens
Steamy skies at the pole

Dressed up for a swim
Pockets full of bricks
Gravity relentlessly
the rest did
Now I see it clear, gonna let it go.

The love leaves us
squeezed out
like toothpaste
from the weight
of what's broken...
From the light we used to be...What were we?

We were not majestic trees
Twisted leaves by the wind still
A pale dawn on canvas
But I can’t tell you why.

Dressed up for a swim
Pockets full of bricks
Gravity relentlessly
the rest did
Now I see it clear, gonna let it go.

The love leaves us
squeezed out
like toothpaste
from the weight
of what's broken...
From the light we used to be...What were we?

We were not that poem
Not even the ink...
Now I see it clear, gonna let it go.
