Compass

Long time ago In the fall
She grew so old at the age of four
Her polka dot, the yellow leaves
That landed from the high up trees

She didn’t know what’s there to come
Just waited for her present
They walked in silence, holding hands
Her dad and her until they came to

Grey grey walls walls
Close close close on her
Is she still safe?

“Where are we and why we’re here?”
At the age of four
Those questions aren’t clear

And there she was, her beauty shines
Her eyes are sparkles in the dark skies
She came so close, and kneeld so low
Gave the crutches to her man so slow

“My beauty queen, my little pumpkin
So glad you’re here. Lets go”

She kisses her gently, then rose up
And then her daughter’s hands freed up

At the age of four she walks alone
She doesn’t need help like her mommy
Who would have thought when she grows old
The memory won’t vanish

Grey grey walls walls
Close close close on her
Is she still safe?

“Where are we and why we’re here?”
At the age of four
Those questions aren’t clear

Grey grey walls walls
Close close close on her
Is she still safe?

“Where are we and why we’re here?”
At the age of four
Those questions aren’t clear

It’s breathing that matters after taking a step
That led you discover the loneliest depth
It’s breathing that matters after hearing the truth
The voice that announces you’re ready to prove

The world what you are
Despite all the doubt
It’s frightening to see
You’re fears left behind

It’s breathing that matters when it’s time to let go
And rung towards beauty verify that you now that
Love is near
Love is near
Love is near

It’s breathing that matters – I thought it’s a game
So hard was to listen when focused on pain
It’s breathing that matters, I own it right now
Inhaling by water Exhaling at land

Love is near
Love is near
Love is near

Stay clear, stay clear it’s near
Stay clear, stay clear it’s near

Love is near
Love is near
Love is near

Love is near

Nobody knows
Nobody knows about all the guilt and shame

It’s true I suppose
I suppose I’m not alone in this game

If there’s abuse there is pain
And nowhere else to escape
But physically run away
With a heart that’s bleeding rain

It’s bleeding rain
It’s bleeding rain

Cats and dogs it’s bleeding
It’s bleeding rain
Cats and dogs it’s bleeding
Bleeding rain

Nobody knows
Nobody knows I’m longing for a change

It’s true I suppose
I suppose some things are out of my range

Without the truth life is strange
It’s pulling me out of my game
Bare feet and cold, I’m standing still
With a heart that’s bleeding rain

It’s bleeding rain
It’s bleeding rain

Cats and dogs it’s bleeding
It’s bleeding rain
Cats and dogs it’s bleeding
Bleeding rain

You will be fine one day
You will be good
You will be fine one day You will be more than good

It’s bleeding rain
It’s bleeding rain

Cats and dogs it’s bleeding
It’s bleeding rain
Cats and dogs it’s bleeding
Bleeding rain

I would erase you from my memory
And plant you fresh and clean
Your eyes
Your heart
Your mind

The way you touch, the way you look at me
The way you see me now
I would forget you
And find you new
So fresh and calm

That will be beautiful to see
How we belong
How we no longer bleed
How we no longer need to heal
I’ll pick you when
All this gets real

The soil I’ll choose will make it easier
We’ll each have our own place
You’ll grow
But leave room for me
To have some healthy space

I won’t be walking on my tip toes dear
Or feel your discontent
I will forget you
Discover ease
Without the net

That will be beautiful to see
How we belong
How we no longer bleed
How we no longer need to heal
I’ll pick you when
All this gets real

Should we quit, travel very far?
With a grip covering the scars.
I know you, I know you, I know you

Be like one, never talk too much
Or never stop, it’s the same you see
I know you, I know you, I know you

I’ll never let you fall
I’ll never let you drown
Yes I’m working
I’m working just to keep you around

It’s all time just time
But I know you

We’re headed far away
We’re done just for the day
Oh my compass my compass
Please don’t break mid way

It’s all time just time
But I know you

Should we quit travel very far?
With a grip covering the scars
I know you, I know you, I know you

It took me by surprise again
And again how could I be wrong
Never wanted to admit the fall
That I wasn’t strong

Never know how fast and sudden
But then I do
This time what I’m learning my friend
Feels so new

And you teach me how to let go
Let go and truly grow
You teach me how to let go
Let go and truly grow
I truly grow
I
Truly grow
I
Truly grow
I

So many thoughts like a disease I don’t have
But try to cure
Expectations never took me anywhere in life
As a rule

But still this urge for closeness
Oh, I broke the rules that I set
This time, I guess as always
Is not different

And you teach me how to let go
Let go and truly grow
You teach me how to let go
Let go and truly grow
I
Truly grow
I
Truly grow
I
Truly grow
I
