Whole

I don’t fear silence

Nor all the noise within

Sometimes if I strain my ears I can hear

Someone somewhere calling

I am waiting

For my name

I don’t fear storms

Passed the children’s bedtime

I don’t really sleep anymore

When thunder rumbles

In the dead of the night

And the earth smells of things undone

I listen

Like a good friend

Hold me close

Need to feel the warmth of someone else

Taint my holiness

Whatever it takes

To make me

Whole

Whole

Whatever it takes to make me

Whole

Whole

Whatever it takes to make me

I don’t fear time for time has no time for the tree that falls in the forest

No interest for what remains unchanged

After the rain washed the dirt away

I am so clean

Can’t bear the void

I’m scared of my boredom

And I talk to myself a lot

I sink in the soil

And my tongue turns to stone

And the words in my mouth collide

Time’s running out

Like a mad dog

I feel so old

Hold me close

Need to feel the warmth of someone else

Taint my holiness

Whatever it takes

To make me

I always thought

That it’d get easier with time

Is this me smiling on the picture

I don’t recognise

I don’t remember

Hold me close

Need to feel the warmth of someone else

Taint my holiness

Whatever it takes

To make me

Whole

Whole

Whatever it takes to make me

Whole

Whole

Whatever it takes to make me

Whole

Whole

Whole

Whole

Oh

Whatever it takes to make me
