wind still blows over savannah

lyrics

I've been strumming these chords for my whole life
finding a sonnet in each sunrise
while still singing you praise for the darkness
it's tiresome, if I can be honest

I have been living too long your doorstep
trying to break into your fortress
longing for simple words of conviction
but you always trail off at the end of each sentence

surely, there's a cure for this madness
I could join the mystic revival in the mountains
or travel the world in one of your spaceships
lay down my fortunes like Bukowski at the races

when living is just a series of disappointments
and love is just an idea that we poisoned
Maybe I will find you after I conquer this cancer
when I speak to the void and it answers

the wind still blows over Savannah
and I still don't know what I'm after
like a sturgeon is unaware of the river
I think you were sent here to break down my filters

(hold on... these days don't betray what's still to come...)

I've been singing these songs for my whole life
born from the shadow and the dim lights
it's not a muse or Euterpe that I search for
my resolve is not a relic of your cold war

I make my way through the trails and the cliff-falls
across the country divided by great walls
beneath every monument erected to malfunction
it seems we're all here searching for something...

but the wind still blows over Savannah
the heart still beats faster and faster
like any rose that's unaware of it's beauty
I think you were sent here to cure me

(hold on... these days don't betray what's still to come...)
