Lyrics:

You once called me a liar
Then crawled back into my hands
A room filled with desire
with no one to understand

Are you watching me? Come closer and you'll see

Its hard to keep dreaming
when all i do is stay awake
my eyes just keep dilating
with those thoughts running through my head

Are you watching me? 

You once called me a dreamer
Then crawled back into my veins
A room filled with fire
with only you to understand

Are you watching me? Come closer and you'll see

Come closer and you'll see

Dilation

Sit aside
For a day
And watch carefully how the little ones play in the rain
With your tired attention
Everything looks so small
When you forget it all

Lay down
On the soil
And feel the earth surround your bitter heart
You've lost your scale
Let worms fill the sky
And the birdsong will ring below

Let it fall
Down your check
Does it feel like you've been cast out of this world?
As you sink into mud
There are thousands of living creatures embracing you

Has your time
In the ground
Led you to the same conclusion?
I can't speak for you
But I will hope it isn't so

Ground

All those people
You tried to love
And loved to hate
Are first in line at heaven's gates
All those people 
That smile at you
Their eyes so true
Makes you wonder what you're going through

I exist alone in the hollowed husk of a white pine
Listening to critters crawl up my spine
Staring at the tracks I've left behind
I exist alone in the crowded cross walks
Parking meters, clotted car lots   
Beating hearts will never stop

All my children
Will learn to love
And learn to hate
To plant their cross in a gust of fate
All God's children
Will turn the page
Of a revolving age
They'll join together the night and the day

But I exist alone

Warming wind and violet skies
Heal my heart
Golden light and burning bark
Heal my heart
I'll go away in a flame of faith
To sear this flesh, to burn this grave
I'll disappear in a spotlit sun
To lose myself and gain the whole

Gain The Whole

Where did all the time go
I guess I waited way too long
As the days turn weeks then months to years
I should be moving on
But where do I go
I haven’t been the man I want
As I’ve stayed with my weaknesses and fears
I should’ve been moving on

But it’ll be all right
This is the year that last a lifetime
And I don’t mind
Cuz I got time

Where did all my friends go
Haven’t seen them in way too long
We’d stay out so late and disappear
And now we never talk
But what do I know
I haven’t been the first to call
They’d say Nate ya been so fuckin weird
And it’s hard to stay they’re wrong

But it’ll be all right
This is the year that lasts a lifetime
And I don’t mind
Cuz I got time

Don’t be surprised
When you wake up and no one is by your side
In those lasso eyes
All my dreams turn to gold and they oxidize

It’ll be all right
This is the year that lasts a lifetime
And I don’t mind
Cuz I got time
