Sea Change

In silence we stay In stillness we wait Our lives rearranged By the price paid with pain Do you remember twilight? You see the whites in my eyes It's safe to fire Well, say what you want And say what you will But remember the cost For failure to forgive If the weight of the loss Is the weight of the guilt I surrender the blame For the space we can heal For the space we still live But stay Won't you wait For this moment to rise Safe. Are you safe? Are you safe now to fire? I see the whites of your eyes Ahh, ahh, ahh Who was that walkin in the dark? Who was that singing to the stars? Time is now, not forward or behind What was that voice inside your mind? Always telling you lies Because I remember the flames I remember the chill You will remember your light When you surrender to feel Will you measure your heart? Will you measure your will? Because the voices will come And the voices will kill Because the choices we've made From first breath to the grave Are the same as the sum Of consequences we face When the past comes to haunt And the soil's still not tilled It's the ghosts of the past Like statues standing still And the time standing still But stay Won't you wait For this moment to rise Safe. Are you safe? Are you safe now to fire? I'm still with you Here with you Let's put down the knives Safe. Are you safe? Are you safe now to fire? You see the whites of my eyes Ahh, ahh, ahh, ahh Ahh, ahh, ahh
