Lyrics

[01:14.08] What is the end of your day?
[01:17.49] Do you fade into nighttime or toil away?
[01:22.71]
[01:23.39] I believe I was put here to worry and wait.
[01:27.80] We fail to make up for what we cannot name.
[01:31.58]
[01:32.30] Are you true to whatever you do?
[01:36.82] Or are you scared （are you scared）
[01:40.79] to bring light to your own misery?
[01:46.01]
[01:46.28] You're so wrapped up in your history
[01:52.71] that I never see you here.
[01:57.98] Do you think of me （think of me）
[02:01.84] when you're painting mirrors by moonlight?
[02:06.28]
[02:07.24] I'll hold every clock hand to midnight.
[02:13.83] We've all got things to fear.
[02:18.85]
[02:34.25] What is the end of your week?
[02:37.81] Some wait for romance to play out like a scheme.
[02:41.95]
[02:44.12] Others wake Sunday and need to believe
[02:48.06] that their part in the system
[02:50.00] is what makes them free.
[02:52.04]
[02:52.96] But I'm just in need of some truth.
[02:57.11] I know it's here （know its here）,
[03:00.81] but there are so many distractions.
[03:05.40]
[03:06.13] And when you're blinded by every refraction
[03:12.95] you can't focus on the light.
[03:15.85]
[03:18.21] You'll drown in fear （drown in fear）,
[03:21.92] just remember we are all scared, too.
[03:27.21] Don't neglect the ground we're all bared to;
[03:34.10] your roots will give you life.
[03:38.89]
[04:23.04] I'm lost in the aisles,
[04:26.05] crossing the lines left behind
[04:30.97] in some gold-leafed illumination.
[04:35.26]
[04:37.16] I guess I'm better left to temptation,
[04:42.23] bared to the ground.
[04:47.17] A fool, no ascetic, I wander around.
[04:52.16]
[04:52.50] I spew the hermetic and never expound,
[04:58.58] still it feels like I'm homeward bound.
[05:03.44] And what is one you to do
[05:07.90] when the working day catches up with you,
[05:12.58] a thirsty seed （a thirsty seed）?
[05:16.20] I will lend a hand if you need:
[05:19.21] the running water to your olive tree.
[05:27.65]
[06:04.78] What is the end of your day?
[06:09.33] Are you slave to those mirrors
[06:12.07] your form fills with shame?
[06:14.70] I meant to free you from those frames
[06:19.87] but their gleaming has stolen us away.
[06:25.21]
[06:38.54]
