Thought I - The Dares

You told most everybody

Your truth didn’t let me be

I slipped into a darkness

That longed to hold on me It came in by the hour

It wouldn’t leave for weeks

You spoke of groves and gardens

You wouldn’t share with me Thought I died in the center of you

I flew by and nobody could see me I lost what I thought was true

Denied anybody would leave me And I said where you going?

Is it what it seems?

I died in the center of you

I’m tired of running backwards

In lines that we complete

I’m starved for good intentions

That make it back to me The past presents the future

That time will never tell

I arrived at the moment

A penny short at a wishing well

Thought I died in the center of you

I flew by and nobody could see me I lost what I thought was true

Denied anybody would leave me And I said where you going?

Is it what it seems?

I died in the center of you

You came in by the hour

You wouldn’t leave for weeks

You spoke of groves and gardens

You wouldn’t share with me

I’m tired of running backwards

In lines that we complete

I’m starved for good intentions

That make it back to me The past presents the future

That time will never tell

I arrived at the moment

A penny short at a wishing well

Thought I died in the center of you

I flew by and nobody could see me I lost what I thought was true

Denied anybody would leave me I said where you going?

Is it what it seems?

I died in the center of you
