mountains find us sleeping
dreaming of alleyways and hands
that lead us home
we've nowhere to go from here
i wish you could see the way your
reflection plays with the ghosts
we never wanted to become

shhhhh

dancing with the blue that drowns
our spirits i turned around once
only to find myself in you
standing there; still
but never peaceful
oceans of lives crashing all around
us i never wanted you
to fall down

wait

for just a moment before turning over
before touching
solid ground, love and something between
this is not good enough to keep us
quiet, still breathing, eyes seeing
everything we've grown to love,
everything we've grown to hate

about God

so unfair now, the way we twist and turn
into monsters when noone's looking and no
one is looking now someone take these scars
and plant flowers, trees, something new
to believe
our reasons are flawed yet reason enough
to keep moving these mountains that find us
sleeping dreaming

of alleyways and hands that lead us home.
