SUrvival Chimes

I tried to speak my first words

Listening to the birds

Keeping every thought under a page

Is that really what you heard?

The sounds I tried to form

Folding all my words right into to place

I was on the phone

With a real good friend

Heaven only knows if I could recognize myself

If you mean it

No needing to pretend

This season's got me weak again

Soft eyes, spotlights

Hope you have a real good time

Out there on the island

Why do I always need to be one to hide it

Come around and you bring everything to silence

Is my soul surviving?

Could you excuse me I just need to be awake at dawn

Am I really gonna follow everywhere you want

Is my soul surviving?

There you were just like a visionary danger

I know life is far to short to be a stranger

Invisible unwanted

Physical but haunted

You walk a tightrope in your mind

Are you running out of time?

On a fresh new thought with a renegade twitch

Everyone you knew was onboard

Some extra thought when we shade it in

Clear away the dirt

Why do I always need to be one to hide it

Come around and you bring everything to silence

Is my soul surviving?

Could you excuse me I just need to be awake at dawn

Am I really gonna follow everywhere you want

Is my soul surviving?

Could you excuse me I just need to be awake at dawn

Am I really gonna follow everywhere you want

Is my soul surviving?
