I’ve spent the day estranged
Wishing for a brighter day
The clouds were lined with silver
And the sun was gleaming over the river
But the moments I skipped over
We’re the chances I left smoldering
And if silence was the captain
Then my tongue was her right hand
And I left us both apart
And blamed the wind for my faulty sails

So without words I sold my soul
I stole a goal just to stay cold
In the heat of this mid-spring afternoon
I spent blaming myself for this lack of you

I dream in shapes, not sounds,
That bleed together to shed the ground
Of any shadows I left around
My mistakes are making waves
But I won’t leave the drag of the undertow

So, today, I made mistakes
And blamed the way the earth could quake.
Instead of seeking out the calm,
I built a storm and blamed the rain.

There are many things that I fall short on
And not getting up seems to be what haunts me.

I am grateful for the sunset
So I can start again anew
