The Lake

[00:56.76] Every once in the months my life sets fire to my feelings
[01:00.75] I'm on the path near the lake, and it's stopping my breathing
[01:07.21] But it's still not a surprise
[01:12.77] It's in my chest, it's in my ribs, it's not my heart, it's my grieving
[01:16.92] But it's not sad, it's more of a longing that comes for the season
[01:23.89] That I'm in
[01:27.63] And I always wonder
[01:31.52] Just where it's been
[01:36.97] And when I die I hope my soul doesn't go on and fly
[01:41.09] I hope it just stays right here, looking up into the sky
[01:46.90] 'Cause I know where I'm gonna die
[01:48.71] Then for a beautiful hour in the morning and once in the evening
[01:57.02] I'll see the kids in the water, full of being
[02:00.92] And then I will smile
[02:08.10] And the winter months
[02:11.49] Will only last for a while
[02:15.26]
[02:57.36] Looking up at the grey, but I wouldn't ever have to worry 'bout freezing
[03:01.66] I could just sit and ponder, never have to think about reason
[03:07.44] I'd be just someone's memory
[03:13.41] But how different is it when you're just walking down the street?
[03:17.57] You're always in a place that you're not, you're inside of your loved ones
[03:24.01] I'm just someone's friend
[03:28.22] I still wake up every day
[03:32.14] And don't see an end
[03:37.54] The stillness kills me with a filledness that brings us to staring
[03:41.61] Out far beyond the shore the fire's brewing and glaring
[03:48.15] On the mirror on the lake
[03:53.68] And in the hold there's black, there's red, and orange and withered blue
[03:57.63] Never mind the breeze, never mind the miracles, I got me and I got you
[04:03.86] I know that this is my fate
[04:06.05] And if I was God, this isn't even something that I could create
[04:16.60] And if I was God, this isn't even something that I could create
[04:24.52] And if I was God, this isn't even something that I could create
[04:34.16] And when I die I hope my soul doesn't go on and fly
[04:37.97] I hope it just stays right here, looking up into the sky
[04:43.95] 'Cause I know where I'm gonna die
[04:47.66] And when the Lord comes down to take me back to the sky
[04:57.00] When the Lord comes down to bring us back to the sky
[05:05.27] When that Lord comes down, I'll look Him straight in the eye
[05:09.84] I'll look Him straight in the eye
[05:17.19]
