Wildflowers

Lights off, hands washed of a secret

Quickly as you can in the silence

Split seams, sweat beads from the tension

How long can you hold this position?

If you try and lose the nerve, you don't need to be ashamed

Some things don't fit well in words, but they shrink when you can name them

Out in the open

End of the road

We'll find where the light rests and follow it home

I will meet you where the wildflowers grow

Daylight, don't shy from the brilliance

How does it look out in the open?

No show, no smoke

It's illusion if it only glows in the neon

It's too much to hold at first

And you're gonna break your back

Always needing to be sure

Only armed with holding fast

New light, eyes wide - you see it?

Your hand in mine - you feel it?

Sometimes things die conceiving

You're still alive and breathing

New light, eyes wide - you see it?

Your hand in mine - you feel it?

Sometimes things die conceiving

Old skin, new wine
