Surrender Tells

Bright-eyed, I used to
Press palms to match your shape
I let the feeling start to bend
But it's lost in ether
To collect in calluses
I let the curtain fall again
So I change my tense for you
To what you did from what you do
From who I know to who I knew
It's a sinking feel
We are only here
Gaining rings, showing surrender tells
And hey, it's not your fault
The lines got tired just as my body felt
Breathe in, I'd like to
Replant in barren soil
Build something new with my own hands
And I tried, but I've seen you
Shed skin, and I'd like to think
I float above that flooded land

In time you'll come to find
The apple of your eye has lost its glow
As seeds, we cut our teeth
We rest, we feed, and soon begin to grow
I see your youth like leaves
The brown from green
The season casts a spell
Until we make like trees
Uproot and leave to rot out where we fell
And the branches that you held
Like withered hands, letting go
And if you've been there, then you know
You've spent all your time just counting grains of sand
In time you'll come to find
The threading needle's eye has grown too small
Collecting teeth in dreams, a broken reed
A hollow, haunted house
Your youth moves with the breeze
The change in sea, the tide will sort it out
Until we make like trees
Uproot and leave to rot out where we fell
And the branches that you held
Like withered hands, letting go
And if you've been there, then you know
You've spent all your time
Faith takes a toll
And the time, oh the time it takes to grow
So little time to go
And oh, when you sleep
Are you wondering? Is it helping you to dream?
It's keeping me awake.
