lyrics

I sing the softest song that I have in the rising
Soft leather slippers by the door to the garden
Padding out to pick from production, lemons
But all through the beds it’s like nothing is growing

It’s been fine for so long
Putting in all this effort
But when you’re not here I eat breakfast till the sun sets
And I’m scared at how happy it makes me
To take one step away from our fortress of safety

Oh no, oh no
Now I know that I don’t know
I don’t know

I crack open and scramble eggs of fresh energy
Despite my strength
I can’t handle when our atmosphere isn’t friendly
I start acting without thinking
And it’s painful for you listening
Tact, articulation, language, failing
Failing

It’s been fine for so long
Putting in all this effort
But when you’re not here I eat breakfast till the sun sets
And I’m scared at how happy it makes me
To take one step away from our fortress of safety

Oh no, oh no
Now I know that I don’t know
I don’t know

I don’t know I can’t reason it
And it’s sapping my strength
All over it
Knowing that I don’t really know
And without my reason I’m nothing
Without my reason I’m nothing, no
Nothing, I’m nothing, no
Nothing, I’m nothing, no

I sing the softest song that I have but it isn’t the best
Coz I need my time and truth to refresh
Now I know that I don’t know
That I don’t really know
And without my reason I’m nothing
I’m nothing, no
