Conflict
Two unopposable forces
But something has to give
And so you found your fear
Disinterest
An endless wall of silence
And so rejection
Is now your veneer
And anger
The violence boiling over
A rending path of destruction
And you are in its wake

These are the stories
Of how we became
But are these the stories
Of how we remain

And I'm just reaching across this water
I want to touch you
I'm just looking for something more
And I'm just hoping that you can see me
Somehow
I don't want to be alone

Then time
And erosion
The wind, the rain the storm
It broke you down and
crushed your heart of stone
Now the churning
Perturbation
Your weakness is exposed
You're filled with dread
At any who approach

These are the stories
Of how we became
But are these the stories
Of how we remain

And I'm just reaching across this water
I want to touch you
I'm just looking for something more
And I'm just hoping that you can hear me
Somehow
I don't want to be alone

Oh, and this is the moment
Your eluvium had a purpose
This is why we suffer
And this is how we grow
See my example
And then choose to follow
Awaken your soil
The strength that you needed
You had all along

These are the stories
Of how we became
But this is the story
Of how we change

And I'm just reaching across this water
I want to touch you
And I'm willing to give it all

And I'm just reaching across this water
I want to touch you
I'm just looking for something more
And I'm just hoping that you can feel me
Somehow
I don't want to be alone

And I'm just building a world that can reach you
Where the plants and the trees feed the birds and the bees and then
They all leave my side and go to you
They're looking for you
I'm looking for you

I don't want to be alone
I don't want to be alone
I don't want to be alone
I don't want to be alone
