about

For the most part my logic stays in control of this situation, although my emotions want to take over. To protect those I love I have learnt to find solace in patience.

lyrics

Every day I thank the rough winds
That disperse the seeds
And carry them twirling further
From the gnarled roots
So that these boughs and leaves
That grant me shelter
May remain unseen
From your dark window

So break another branch off that old dead tree
And stoke the fire that roars inside your cage
But the wind will still cut you as the walls close in
And the flame that warms you becomes your pyre

So now the beast has come to love the cage
The skeleton calls the closet its only friend
And the decay set into motion by your hand
Rots your blighted bones to dust

So now your own venom
Threatens to drown you
In the wave I've beaten back
For all these years
And I will leave the fortress
I have built around me
Only to hold you under

So break another branch off that old dead tree
And stoke the fire that roars inside your cage
But the wind will still cut you as the walls close in
And the flame that warms you becomes your pyre

So now the beast has come to love the cage
The skeleton calls the closet its only friend
And the decay set into motion by your hand
Rots your blighted bones to dust
