about

It was there all along, and we will do this again.

lyrics

Tell me again
What would you have changed?
Ugly head-to-toe, inside and out
The things our minds will say

This frame may not be a lot to see
the subject of no one's fantasy
But these arms will keep you warm
amidst the snow
This body may not be stunning
as far as bodies go
Yes, it could be harder
but it's the only one I know

Let me avoid my life
a little longer
Let me fill that void
with something stronger
How could I ever make a difference?
Oh, the truths we live each day

This song may not be the best you've heard
no classic poem found in these few words
But these hymns will comfort wounds
you can't outgrow
This voice may not be enchanting
as far as voices go
Can only hope you'll listen
'cause it's the only voice I know

All this time
trusting in the ultimate lie:
that I would only rise to fall

Somehow forgot to summon into mind
the power of the small

Tried so hard to be more
fighting in a war against me night and day
Convinced sufficiency could only result from resistance
But that is not the way

Too long have I been surrounded
by thoughts borne out of fear
Concluding pure gold existed
somewhere outside of here

Slowly realize the truth
discovering the stone
No, I may not be perfect
But I'm the only me I know

Realizing the inseparability of the two concepts and discovering the piano as an adolescent, he uncovered a means of expressing his perspective and experience via the audible world. ... more
