Lyrics

She calls at night just to talk to me

She says I am right about all of it 

There is hope, there are good things ahead

If I’ll just get out of bed

She says when I

Step onto the path she swears is mine

Then I will see

I will see

I will see 

She comes at night just to sit with me

She says I am loved, well she whispers it

”Your dreams, they want to be with you

You know what you must do”

She says in hearts

Burns a flame that lights the deepest dark

Helps us see

I will see

I know what I need to do, face my fears but, in truth

I hesitate cos it’s like digging dirt from an infected wound

I gotta heal how much I hate myself, grow from all the pain

Stop hiding from the world as if I am some kind of stain

Cos there are plenty who will do the job of hating me

And I’ve spent years in wakes of chances that they never gave to me

I’m sick and tired of catching my reflection and not want to see

All I’ve ever wanted’s within reach and I am worthy

When the sun shines, trees drink up the light

No one ever says they’re not good enough to greet

spring just cos the winter was bleak

And I was only a kid

And when I

Step onto the path I know is mine

I will see

Oh, I see

Oh, I see 

I’ll call in the morning to talk to her

I’ll say she was right about all of it

I’m scared but, there are good things ahead

I am getting out of bed

I’m a flower unwithered, the soft you kept hidden

I am the storm that you long for in good weather

Cashmere, silk, honey, milk

colliding with iron and leather

You’d have me drown for my sins

There are sharks in these waters

But parts of stars are in my heart

The waves are mine, i’m divine, and that’s why

I kneel for no one

I heed no command

One foot here and one beyond

I am more than a man

I'm the child of the shadows

The upturned destiny

The face in the fog

that I’ve seen in my dreams

And I am lightning in a bottle

I'm a maelstrom you’re caught in

I'm a torch song from a god and

I am not scared

When I open my mouth to growl in response

Lavender skies touch the tip of my tongue

Traces of sugar in overproof rum

and I sing along – I sing along

I kneel for no one

I heed no command

One foot here and one beyond

I am more than a man

I'm the child of the sun

The upturned destiny

The face in the fog

that I’ve seen in my dreams

And I am lightning in a bottle

I'm a maelstrom you’re caught in

I'm a torch song from a god and

I am not scared

Wake up and greet the sun

Soon will come the springtime

Storms are cruel, salt our wounds

as we clutch the sheets

Wake up and greet the sun

Soon will come the summer

Bright skies dawn and gently warn

"Do not fall back asleep"

Wake up and greet the sun

Soon will come the autumn

Deep within, you feel something

It's more than a dream

Wake up and greet the sun

Soon will come the winter

Days like night, cold that bites

but glitter fills the fields

Wake up and greet the sun

Soon will come the springtime

If you're afraid, I will wait,
but wait impatiently 

When she was sixteen, someone met her in a dream

He said ”when the time comes and you need it, call for me”

To shield her from the coming weather

He gifted her his favorite sweater

She knows that even if she never

Finds him, she has this forever

One day he will say

”Come with me, let’s run away

I’ve been looking for you for so long, so goddamn long

Let’s heal the trauma in our bones”

Any time she wished she didn’t walk alone

Down those steps made of stone

He was there, right before her, echoing through time

To let her know

Later she dreamed of a tidal wave

That tore his hand from hers, washed him away

To free him from the iron tethers

She gifted him a seabird’s feather

He knows that even if he never

Finds her, he can fly forever

One day she will say

”Come with me, let’s run away

I’ve been looking for you for so long, so goddamn long

Let’s heal the trauma in our bones”

Any time he wished he didn’t walk alone

Down the wet cobblestone

She was there, right behind him, echoing through time

To let him know

We can’t see the threads of fate until we’ve reached the end

The things that gave us migraines may turn out to be our friends

When we end up in a situation that feels like it was meant to be

It’s invisible ropes pulling us closer to our destiny

One day they will say

”Put on that feather sweater, let’s fly away

I’ve been looking for you for so long, so goddamn long
Let’s heal the trauma in our bones”
