lyrics

When You Awake

When you awake, everything is in its proper place
Everything is whole
When you awake
Wet with all the afterbirth and wide-eyed
You will find it here
Let me lift your worry then,
Let me warm the grave that opened in your heart
Leave the dying to the dead
Leave the bodies on that distant shore

Hey, come step into the light
Oh, who are you to hide?
Those jaws are open wide,
You’ve finally arrived!

When you awake,
You will find there’s nothing left unsaid
You will find…
You have been a passenger
On an ancient highway paved of bones and scars
And the path has spiraled home
Past the wreckage of a world as yet unknown

Hey, come step into the light
Oh, who are you to hide?
Those jaws are open wide,
But you’ve finally arrived!
Shaken but alive!
