Lyrics

Just as the morning breaks
A vagueness stirs my mind awake
I start to get a sense of place;
The wolves are gathering at the gate

A mirror brings me face to face
With someone I don't recognize
I start to dress me for my day
And leave some piece of me behind

I'm learning

I'm yearning, slow burning I'm turning the Big Wheel
This life is too precious to give it all away

On the train and off to work
A slice of life neatly observed
I can't repress this sense of loss
For the space I daily move across

Its smallness seems to mock at me
I thought I would do bigger things
With Favour walking at my side
I'd make each step a hero's stride

In this passionless circus
In this 'moving in circles' - something dies
Within us - something in me is restless

In this great undertaking
Can't seem to find a niche to place me in -
I'm shaking - something in me is breaking

Move in circles
Try smoothing out your creases
Try making smaller gestures
Try seeking smaller glories
Try lowering expectations
Give up - all that matters
Give up the bigger picture
Blow out your brains

Cold grey is the cityscape
In which I lead this little life
I still make plans for my escape
I don't believe I'll ever try
The easy road to destiny
Does not appear upon my map
I feel somehow I don't belong
Upon this road I'm traveling on

Feels that we are all adrift
Waiting for the paradigm shift
Locked into the politics
And shocks of super power hubris

As the seasons make their rounds
I bend as life's cycles dictate
A characteristic emerged
My tendency to vacillate

I spent years waiting for the day
My life would form a pleasing shape
I turn my face towards the sun
And wait some more before I'm done...


Trying To know My own Fathoms
What falls In place, What pieces are broken...
