etch

your little lines
they stretch out wide
they come into view
from the side
and
comfort me
intwine me
get thru my window
inside me
and
rains shine down
rains shine down
drop your crumbs on me
it's hard to see
through the trees
of shame and responsibility
but
i must see
so
dreams get lost in the snow
dig around
dig around
uncover your prize
drop the lies
compromise
and
let me see



i chased you down and she took you from me
stole you right out from under my sleeve
moving out to sunshine and sea
fir trees and mountains, the flesh of me
oh dream big keep dreaming on
tho the world holds you and shoves you along
stand straight stand tall don't fear it all
it can't hold you down, anyway not long
not long
