remeeting
verse i
i see him in his teenage quest for meaning
a true soulmate to relate. gravitate.
navigate by the stars this lonely world
i see you in your work your brow so focused
the things you make that i break
when i place all of my panic in your hands
chorus
i was so deeply broken
if you could understand
i'd like to think you'd see me
the sadness was an ocean…in me
someday the stars will burn out
and will i know you then?
perhaps it's all repeating
and we are all remeeting
verse ii
i've travelled back at times and touched the third rail
those sprawling small town stroads
left for the coast—never looked back—years ago
i found my self-esteem in all the vastness
but when i'm back the map goes blank
i'm still that orphan, on my own
bridge
you ask me why i do this?
well i don't know myself
perhaps i'm made of feelings
so deep reason can't reach them
know this:
my crimes of desperation
if i had only known
the price would be forever
i would have kept myself together
outro
free the light
i said free the light
lead me…lead me
on sunbeams
upward thru the sky
bleed the darkness from my mind
