Suddenly my senses slip away What is it they always say, turn another page? But everything I see Is full of saccharine similes That makes my spirit ache, and now I feel it everyday It's the dizzy spell I meet at the edges of belief And It's the sound of my heart pounding Swelling up in me when I'm too scared to leave It's a hallelujah And I'm learning how to sing There's a quiet chorus Bleeding into everything And someday soon the day is going to come My flickering flame, dancing for rain that doesn't pour Chasing shimmers on the desert floor And I keep coming back for more But there's no garden from the seeds And I'm starving for meaning But there's a weight and there's a worth To every myth you make to kill the constant ache And there's a hallelujah And I'm learning how to sing It's a growing chorus Bleeding into everything And someday soon the day is going to come And you'll be buried in the weight Gather all your rage And take a swing Until you find your own way Carry everything into another day
