lyrics

I walk past the gate that he built
Past the couch where thought and read a book from his head that no one could quite understand
As I walk past a man and up to my dad who usually sits so tall
Now his head hangs low

What can he see
St John looks defeated
But I won't believe
Til he has conceded
And I judge by a lie
Broken like the door that he chose to be lying there surrounded on the floor
He has tears in his eyes
I hear descriptions I despise
As two fingers lift to the sky off of his neck

Now I’m left
He left
And now I can say St John is bereft

And I
I know not of this
Of heaven's sweet kiss that lay so gently on his lips
As I helplessly know

But it’s silent now
Can I breathe in and out
But it’s silent now
Can he breathe in and out
Is this like heaven
Is this like heaven
It’s so sweet
And it’s so sweet
Will he live in love
Can he breathe in and out
Can I breathe in and out
Can I breathe in and out
In and out
Out

I walk
I walk
I walk
Past all that I knew
And all that I am
All that I am
I am reborn
Take me take me as I am
In life light, in dark
Hear me, hear me as I sing
As I sing
Silent truths can often bring a certain truth from within if you let it
Let it breathe
Let it breathe
Let it breathe
