LYRICS

Nothing ever comes out right
The letters I began to write on paper, turned back to a blank page again

Sometimes they bent
Sometimes they broke off
Sometimes they ran off the edge of the paper

A philosophy dwelling in the shadow of righteousness
And blessings spun for solitude

Baptize your loneliness, dazzlingly
Name what you can't name
Still spilling over the edge
With an impulse of self-sacrifice I've had more of than I can hold
Leaving traces of having touched reality
Sometimes it clears, sometimes it clouds, and sudden rain comes too
An aesthetic that ripens in this "unfinished now"
And blessings spun for the blank space

Baptize your messiness, as my heart keeps pounding
Name what you can't name
Don't let it be taken away

With words like steam that rises and disappears
Yesterday gets reinterpreted
And today gets called off by someone's silence
A convenient season, I think
In such a season, blessings spun for that one breath only you can take

Not everything needs more
Not everything needs a price
Not everything needs a reason
All you need is your breath
