It was a very strange day.
I was left to my own devices and it began perfectly with a hearty 16 mile bike ride all around the islands. Then the storm rolled in as I showered and planned to beach it. Thunder and lightening warmed my afternoon with my own beautiful patio viewing and a really great book.
I can’t even remember the last time there wasn’t something immediate and pressing in my life. Today was all about laid back joy. And a joy it was, until the sudden, urgent and immediate visit to a ” doc in the box ” care center for a dear one that was struggling with a serious temperature spike. Okay, never a dull moment, and a reminder that we should never get tooooooo comfortable because life is gonna throw you a crazy loop or two.
When I heard this song, I took a moment. It was the vocals that drew me in and then the lyrics, and I can’t get enough of it.
Listen…
With all my shadows
I’d bow my head
And welcome them
But I feel it burning
Like when the winter wind
Stops my breathing Are you really going to love me
When I’m gone
I fear you won’t
I fear you don’t And it echoes when I breathe
Until all you’ll see
Is my ghost
Empty vessel, crooked teeth
Wish you could see
And they call me under
And I’m shaking like a leaf
And they call me under
And I wither underneath
In this storm I am a stranger
I am an alien
Inside a structure
Are you really going to love me
When I’m gone
With all my thoughts
And all my faults
I feel it biting
I feel it break my skin
So uninviting
Are you really going to need me
When I’m gone
I fear you won’t
I fear you don’t
And it echoes when I breathe
Until all you see is my ghost
Empty vessel, crooked teeth
Wish you could see
And they call me under
And I’m shaking like a leaf
And they call me under
And I wither underneath
In this storm
I feel it
And they call me under
And I’m shaking like a leaf
And they call me underneath
To this storm
