A wave crashes softly in my restless mind
Every thought a seaweed knot impossible to unwind
I chase the echoes of answers through the twilight air
But they tangle and twist till they lead me nowhere
Round and round the shadows spin
Whirling storms beneath my skin
I can’t silence what I hide
Just endless tides I can't outstride
The moon whispers questions the stars can’t explain
Each idea a drizzle turns into rain
I see meaning in maps drawn by the clouds
But I lose my way when it gets too loud
Round and round the shadows spin
Whirling storms beneath my skin
I can’t silence what I hide
Just endless tides I can't outstride
Do you ever stare long and the world stares back
And the silence breaks open like a widening crack
Caught in spirals of wonder that weigh like a stone
Lost among branches of thoughts overgrown
Round and round the shadows spin
Whirling storms beneath my skin
I can’t silence what I hide
Just endless tides I can't outstride
