written late summer 2018. unsure what to say about this one except I'm glad I did it justice.
lyrics
I'm arguing with tigers in a language I don’t understand
I'm walking on eggshells that I've carefully arranged by hand
I'm running through a fire after showering in oil
I'm leaving my common sense behind and returning to home soil
I am doing my best to guard myself and shelter from the storm
That’s raging in my head and permanently changing form
Water, fire, earth and air
Hold me softly, take away my despair
I’m dancing in the darkness through a labyrinth of lies
I’m navigating unknown seas, and fighting with the tide
I’m wrestling my fears and the doubts that I’ve helped to create
I’m doing all I can to stay alive cause I’m afraid
I am taking care to be prepared for the trials that lie ahead
Not taking too much notice of the days I wish I’m dead
Water, fire, earth and air
Take me somewhere far from here
And every time I catch myself thinking along those lines
I’m likely to not challenge it and just pour a glass of wine
Transmuting cells in absence, scared that I’m not ready yet
To let myself be happy, oh I’d rather just forget
Water, fire, earth and air
Blur my vision, drown my fear
Copper, iron, gold and lead
Calm this cyclone in my head
