From the recording Songs for Broken Voices
Lyrics
When you’re too afraid to be yourself
With secrets collecting dust upon the shelf
Let my arms be the place that you can rest
Let my fire burn til there’s nothing left
When space is all that you need to feel
And time digs in its ol’ boot heel
Let your head lay upon my chest
Feel my heart keep the beat to our duet
And yes I know there’s an undertow
There’s a siren in the sea she’s always singing songs to me
But I’ll soothe your soul like a soft Merlot
I’ll start with a simple song but if that don’t work I know
I can always be the sin that you confess
Til there’s nothing left
When our deepest chasm is revealed
And the last of our horsemen gets unsealed
I’ll force my ego to divest
Hope like hell I’m God’s to repossess
And yes I know there’s an undertow
There’s a force that I can’t see it’s always playing tricks on me
But I’ll soothe your soul, I’ll be on patrol
I’ll stop my suspect thoughts and find out what they stole
Make damn sure those crooks pay their debts
Til there’s nothing left
