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
