No words can bring me solace
Like the stillness of the night;
Save your breath
And just take mine away.
They never said it would be easy.
Dived head first with my guard down,
Like a moth into the flame.
I wanted all of you to feel me;
So I burnt myself to the ground,
Just to hear you scream my name
One last time.

And I'd do it again,
and again and again-
Ignite myself for you, and darling
I'd feel no shame.
I'm a forest fire for your love.
And I'm burning
Everything I touch.
And then I wake

I've looked for so many years
But only now I see
Many speak of living life
But life is living me

And then I wake

To constellations in my bones
An entire universe unknown
I am the stillness, I am the void
I am the silence behind the noise
Be easy on yourself
You've got to have more patience
It’s all part of the plan, so just relax and ride it through

Be easy on yourself
And let your mind be vacant
You’ve got to understand that there’s no more that you can do

Be easy on yourself
You've got be more gentle
Try to take the time to free your mind of all the pain

Be easy on yourself
And put the soul before the mental
Remember to be kind and learn to love yourself again
This life could be so sweet, could be a blessing
        To feel the earth beneath our feet
                With every step we take
Doesn't matter in the end, which rags you dress in
        Just to drape over your bones
                It’s just the only thing we know
?
What does it mean to be nostalgic
Of a place you've never been?
As if you're not already
Right where you're supposed to be

And what does it mean to miss the touch
Of someone that you've never seen?
Longing for a love
That should already be within

What does it mean?
heavy eyes
  heavy heart
a tragic ending
  from the start
glasses high
  spirits low
poison in a bottle
  the only spirit
    that I know
