If you think about forever
Until your life is over
Well then what was all that doing
In the middle supposed to mean
'Cause there's nothing like the future
To weigh a body down
It just slips into the past
Until the darkness comes around
And in the spring
When you hear the leaves
Digging tunnels through the trees
You will know that there is life
That doesn't breathe
And I am not alone
And when the water washes over
The last hole in your head
Oh, will you think of all the other ways
That this life could have gone
Or will you marvel at the way
That it has been
I am the blood
In the veins of the sky
Before it rains
I am the lightning
I will strike you
From your feet
I am the long warm embrace
Of an old familiar face
I am the light inside of
Everything you need
I am the mother
I am the son
I am the calm collected one
I am the anguish
That will bring you to your knees
And in the dark, you will see
That you look just like me
We are nothing that we want
And all we need
