Morning Waits for me At the end Of a long night Get up and Like the rest Hustling It never ends I used to boil It up for tea But now I just drink Hot water I’ve Been So Tired

Here comes the reaper Your hair like water Your skin like paper But I see a crack in your guise I see a spark in your eyes When you let it slip on the sly Walk to the garden Move like all others Move slow like water, a whisper But I see a crack in your guise I see a spark in your eyes When you let it slip on the sly All pride, all meaning Dignified distance The walls between us fall When I see a crack in your guise I see a spark in your eyes When you let it slip on the sly Here comes the reaper Your hair like water Your skin like paper But I see a crack in your guise I see a spark in your eyes When you let it slip on the sly

I was never ready For what I heard But it doesn’t matter A true word always lands It was so felt and foreign It was so fresh and new Now we’re down and we’re deep in the forest Looking in the shimmering water Wondering, what can I dream now? Can I dream up some sunlight Can I find a flower behind the rock Will the softest mosses lay us down, down, down It is so felt and foreign It is so fresh and new I brought you a broken sparrow You saw a healing body My spirit had never known flight Just the kind where the ground is falling Can we throw our heads back Take back ten, laugh in the wind Take back ten, laugh in the wind It is so felt and foreign It is so fresh and new It is so felt and foreign It is so fresh and new It is so fresh and new
