You Tell Me

from It Begins In Beauty by Syd Lane

/

lyrics

Solemn uncertainty eloquently aware
It would be so much easier if I just didn’t care
The tiniest movements. My flow of awareness
Shatters perception, which once was so fearless

With the candles last flicker the dawn cast its spell
Leaving only a distance. Their heaven my hell
Before I could feel it the night showed me proof
I was never a loner I am merely aloof

“A line allows progress. A circle does not”
In my web of desire, simplicity's caught
My focus is love my path’s become clear
Oh why is she there. While I’m over here?

From the soul of this moment tomorrow is carved
For years I was frozen. Emotions were starved
With my childlike perception I’ll do all that I can
Empathizing directly. Subverting demands

There was nothing to stop me from screaming your name
No ties there to bind me no liars remained
A feeling suggested I let it all out
So I whispered to no one “What’s this all about”

“A line allows progress. A circle does not”
In my web of desire, simplicity's caught
My focus is love my path’s become clear
Oh why is she there. While I’m over here?
