Lately - Thicker Than Water

Once upon a time I held my breath

And listened until there was no air left

But the sound swells from inside

Nothing left but to move aside

Your words, your words

A beautiful sound

Lately my ears have found a way to be open

Lately my eyes have found a way to be open

I hold the candle steady But It burns my skin

And my ears as I’m listening

Newly of open eyes begin to sting

As the light first begins to pour in
