Lyrics

Want to float upon the waves until I dissolve into the sea
Want to learn to love the space between the pain and the victory
Who gets to make the call
that someone’s broke beyond repair?
Take me to a sunlit place and leave my body there

And all the children of my choices are gathered at my feet
I want to walk them to the border
open the gate and set them free
Drink of all the wisdom of every prophet and every fool
Memorize all their words, and never know what to do

In the end you are alone to walk the path on steps you’re destined to
In the end you are alone

When I woke up at the creek, I washed my face with dirt
Then I stepped on through the briars to a place where words don’t hurt
The final word is silence and it thunders in the air

…

Take me to a sunlit place and leave my body there

In the end you get to choose who you carry but not who carries you
In the end you get to choose
In the end you get to choose who you carry but not who carries you
In the end you get to choose

I feel everything, everything. It’s a blessing. It’s a curse.
When the joy is tinged with sorrow, and the sorrow hurts much worse.
Who gets to make the call when someone’s broke beyond repair?
Take me to a sunlit place and leave my body there.
Take me to a sunlit place and leave my body there.

In the end you get to choose who you carry but not who carries you
In the end you get to choose
In the end you get to choose who you carry but not who carries you
In the end you get to choose
In the end you get to choose (but not who carries you)
